I can't. But Mac OSX does have relations to unix, linux and others.
Wanna buy that card? Know someone that would like to have more serial
ports? Where are all those that should lust after this bargain...

We have serial ports in all our computers already but I will keep you in mind
if a non-Mac person wants to add one. We know a Mac person who had to get
a serial-to-USB adaptor for his PDA. PCs usually come with 2 ports, or a port
and a header for a second one. What do you plug into your port?

I have an old PDA, an X-10 transmitter, and a camera, that need serial
ports. I use a 3-way (DB-25) serial switch to choose which device is
connected.

Kiwanis has serial-to-USB adaptors for $2 or $5 (I forget). The one we got
works in linux, but we have serial ports.

I was suggesting a cheap source if you need another one.

Re resp:3: Linux and OS X are not really related on the device driver
level. OS X is based on BSD, but I think it uses a different kernel
than any open-source BSD version.
