Geoff.
Yes. I have an Advantech PCI-1603 2-port PCI board where either port can be configured as either RS-232 or 20mA Current Loop (sound familiar?) by setting jumpers on the board. I bought it specifically to run the Teletype with the Altair32 emulator until I could get Grant's replica. It works great!

BTW are there instructions somewhere for using the monitors, DBL, MBL and music ROMS I got with my system? I tried to load 4K BASIC into the replica using your instructions for the TeraTerm terminal emulator but have been unsuccessful. If I could use the MBL ROM to do it, I'd save having to enter the bootloader each time That's the point of the MBL ROM, no? 8^) Thanks again for your patience!
