Where can I get a Port 80 Card?

Does anyone know where to get one of these? Any comments or suggestions regarding them are welcome, too.

A port 80 card? You've already got a port 80! Your computer is 100s of port built right in!

What is it you're wanting to do?

I think Sysopy use to adevertise these. Yes they did back when I would come by to read the latest Scott had up... was the forum around then?

I think I would go over to Wim's Bios (http://www.wimsbios.com/) and ask on their message board. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

The "Port 80" card is called a POST test card! It is only helpful if a computer will not POST! If your computer boots up, the card will tell you nothing, the Numeric LED will just continue to spin! I picked one up last year in a bundle with Microscope Diagnostics, back them for this top-of-the-line setup, I gave $420. A POST test card alone will cost anywhere from about $50 to several hundred. Unless you're a tech, you'd be wasting your money buying one! And remember if you do buy one, you get what you pay for! $50 doesn't buy much!!!

I assume you're talking about a POST card that goes into an ISA or PCI slot?

I found some on Ebay, but didn't think I'd use one enough to pay for one. They're out there, and relatively cheap. There are even some models with ISA on the bottom and PCI on the top, so you know it'll plug in somewhere.
