[RTTY] PROIII, MMTTY and New computer without serial or parallel ports

[Don Hill AA5AU]

While shopping for a new desktop computer, I found that most come with PCI Express slots which are different than PCI slots. Some
computers may have a combination of PCI and PCI Express. But the newer ones I looked at only had PCI Express slots.

Maybe PCI slots are being phased out.

Are PCI slots still the norm on new PCs?  I thought they were basically phased out.
