Hi

Does anyone know if there is such possibility to have REAL 16550 UART com/serial port on X200?
X200 ultrabase doesn't have com (it has almost nothing, anyway), USB<->com gives vary poor rs-232 compatibility, maybe Express Card to com?

With my X60 I used Silicom Double Serial on pcmcia and it worked great.

I'm curious about this as well. I'm this [] close to selling my old T30 now that I have a shiny (er..matte) new machine, but I'm finding it hard to give up such legacy things like a serial port and line-in jack--well...esp the serial port.

I suppose you were thinking of something like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6839150003
(though possibly something a bit less expensive...)

Thanks g1tigi.
Delock has similar product.

I've sent question to Siig if it is possible to assign IRQ to their com on express card and if signals from all DB-9 pins are transferred to the system. If the answer is "yes" - it will great and the price is no so important. I'm used to pay much for such things My old PCMCIA<->2xCOM cost me ~60$...
