Re: RS232 card for PC with surge protection ??

[Dave McLaughlin <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

Quite a few people do them. What you want is a board with opto-isolation
but I am afraid they are not cheap from the quick google I did.

£259 +VAT for this one alone.

There is this one from Brain Boxes which it appears that RS sell.

Google for this
pci opto isolated rs232

Good luck finding something cheap.

Regards
Dave...
