If this were a dongle device, I'd want it on a parallel port. Many machines don't have a spare serial port ...
How about a SCSI device instead. Most UNIX boxes and Macs nowadays have a few unused SCSI IDs. The great majority of DOS machines with SCSI (all those new ones with CD-ROMs, etc.) have unused SCSI IDs. SCSI has the advantage of being rather fast, and is a cross-platform solution.
Now I have machine envy... (so SCSI here yet) But maybe a generalized product line? SCSI and IDE, as well as parallel dongle. Whatever kind of port you happen to have laying about. And not using up slots is really a Good Thing. My 486 is full right now, and I use all of it, so pulling a card isn't an option. - -- Roy M.
