   Hit return at the end of 70 columns, please. It makes things
much easier to read and quote.

   The best and fastest way to check on what kind of card it is is to
take a look at the connector in back. Serial connectors are either 9
or 25 pin D-shell (two rows of pins, either 5/4 or 13/12 pins.), but
some may have the Apple-style (GS, Mac) mini Din-8, a circular
connector with 8 pins in it.

   Parallel connectors are usually an 18-pin rectangular connector
that you plug a cable into, which is 36 pin centronics on the other
end. 

   That should be enough to start you off; if you can't figure out
what you have, polish off your ascii artwork skills, and post it here.
