Just for your info, unless you are using all three comm ports, you can
unassign on or two and re-use the address or addresses on a card inside of
Win95 within the Settings and Control Panel section. My newest box is a
Dell Pentium Pro II 300 Mghz and I replaced its original comm ports with
the two on a twin TurboExpress card.
For someone that was asking about losing data because of overload...When I
first tried a TurboPort, I was running three computers with live feeds. I
had a T-Port on each of them. I installed a TurboPort on one of the
machines and ran it for a month and then compared the tick data randomly
for contracts on many days and there was no data loss present, although
there were a few times when my old T-Port machines lost data when I was
slowing down their processing and their buffer filled.
On the TorboExpress on my new machine, you can see on the software that is
resident when there is a data overflow. As I said once before, I have my
software set up so it gives me an error message that pops on my screen when
it overflows. It just doesn't happen.
