Datel Comms Link - Really needed?

Post by CosmoGuy » January 4th, 2013, 9:47 pm

Hi.

Just got quite old DOS PC based on AMD-386. I think it would be good to play a little with PSY-Q, DOS-tools on it.
So htat machine has a card with COM/LPT port and one on extension cord from mainboard [so basicly i have 2 of them].
So if I have hardware like that can I save my money and time, and dont buy [and search [ a lot!]] that old sh*tty CommsLink card.
Or do I?

Please I would be grateful.

Regrads.
