[RTTY] Re GU0SUP change

[Phil Cooper]

Hi all,

I obviously forgot some of the facts!

I currently have a PCI card with 2 extra Com ports, and yes, I could indeed
get a card with Com ports on a PCI Express card.

My thought was to go "future proof", hence the idea of a MicroHam device.

I have the loan of a PC for now, which will keep me going, once I get it all
set up. It looks as though this will not be until after the contests this
coming weekend, so please bare with me if I should suddenly disappear from
your screen!

In GU, we don't really have the luxury of being able to buy 2nd hand PC's.
There are a couple of outlets selling such equipment, but most is old and
tired, and may even be stuff recovered from skips!
Buying new stuff is better, but again, most is overpriced, so we mostly
resort to buying online.

I am a bit more inclined to go the MicroHam route, simply because that will
give me a bit more flexibility, and is capable of handling even a very new
PC. And cost is not a particular issue, although I wouldn't want to spend
more than necessary.

Thanks to you all for your kind ideas and thoughts. It is very much
appreciated.
