i have bought several "edgeport" adapters at hamfests them i bought a 
few 8 port from this guy ( no relation)

these particular sets are commercial units used for cash register 
systems for the drawer , scanner  etc.
Each port is individually adjustable for speed, and a bunch of other 
parameters,,,
they happen to be made in USA and are very expensive new.,,,,

I even have an 8 port board i put in an ugly box i'd be happy to sell..
for $30 including shipping.  software & manuals are on the web...
