Has Anyone Ever Had the IOBlix 8k Buffer Upgrade?

[Corrie]

Hi all,

I have an IOBlix ZorroII Card. I have read in the manual and on various websites that the serial ports provide 64Byte FIFO and the Parallel Ports have 16Byte FIFO. The internal FIFO can be upgraded to 8KB.

I have emailed RBM numerous times to ask about this upgrade and never got any response. Can anyone tellme is the upgrade available? Can I buy the chips needed to upgrade the FIFO from a local computer store? Any help would be great here.

Hmm.. dunno much about this but you can upgrade the IOBlix with another ST78C36 chip to get an extra parallel port. Don't know if that's the uppgrade you're after ore if such a chip can be found in a local store, but you could try. :-D

Yes that helps, but I am really wanting the 8k buffer upgrades for the serial ports. Anyone know anything about this?
