        It's not a genuine Super Serial, but it's plenty good enough!

        Call Jameco at (800)831-4242.  They have P/N 10647 for $49.95
serial, and P/N 21792 for $39.95 parallel.  I, m'self, would opt for the
parallel, but go ahead and get the serial for modem and transfer usage.

        For non-US (since I'm not sure where you are), you can try +1
(415) 592-8097, or www.jameco.com
