We ended up settling on the Measurement Computing "PC104-LPT\2COM232" board due 
to its ability to use IRQ5.  (We still have never succeeded in getting IRQ7 
into anything but level trigger mode, thus until/unless we can succeed at this, 
we need to use IRQ5).

Some notes:

1. If placing the TS-7260 board beneath the PC104-LPT\2COM232, the top of the 
big electrolytic cap on 7260 (above the SD-card slot) may make contact with the 
pins on the DB-25 header, and that can confuse your troubleshooting.

2. The PC104-LPT\2COM232 uses weaker pull-up resistors than the TS-SER2, 
meaning that we had to adjust the signal timing to allow the pull-up more time 
to finish.

3. The MC board draws considerably less power that the TS-SER2 (~40 ma).

This is a good time to note that the fine folks at Symmetric Research (makers 
of some outstanding ParPort & USB 24bit ADC devices) did a lot to get us 
rolling, and they are quite interested in the ARM platform.  We couldn't have 
done it without them!

cheers
