Re: [ts-7000] opto-isolated RS232/485 for PC?

[Jason Stahls <>]

I can't attest to any opto serial PCI boards but I have had experience 
with opto isolated serial devices.  The company I work for sells 
products from Westermo who's main selling point is their isolated 
interfaces (power, serial, all isolated) so I know it works well :)
