There are a number of serial cards you can purchase... much faster than the dismal performance you get from the ancient serial ports that came standard on the old Amiga motherboards. Cards like Multiface and the GVPIO system really jumpstart serial performance. I think the upcoming IOBlix card also has serial port options.
The hard part is trying to get anything in stock. Try National Amiga. If they don't have it they'll know someone who might. Or you can search Agnes for Amiga related articles/web sites.
Yes, I'm an Amigoid? Amigan? Bah. Amiga user. Gateway certainly does have the rights to the Amiga technology, but questions float around constantly as to excatly what they're planning on doing with their acquisition. AmigaOS 3.5 is scheduled for release very soon, but it's basically 3.1 with some of the nifty shareware apps and commoddities integrated into the OS itself to ensure some measure of standardization and integratability (ie: won't have apps written by two different authours smashing into each other). OS4.0, or OS5dev, is being made to run on a Intel based developer box with custom Amiga architechure added on as a card. That's to act as a developer bridge system while the boys at Amiga Inc. argue over what their new box is going to look like. That's when OS5.0 proper should make its appearance. There are lots of sites if you're really interested in doing some digging. My faves include: The Amiga Web Directory Amiga.org Amiga International National Amiga PPCRulez Linux/APUS You get the idea.:^)
