newegg has this card, very inexpensive...
newegg.com
general catagory here with all cards...Usb, Serial, Parallel, and
combinations of each...
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?
submit=list&catalog=73&DEPA=0
I did not pick out a card for you because i think you may be mistaken
about 2 serial ports...Typically when a card has 2 db25 on it, it is
a parallel card....Look at the db25, if they have sockets they are
parallel ports....If there are pins then you have serial ports...
Also one word of warning, pci cards are plug and play, meaning if you
take them out and put them back in, especially in another slot, or
change cards, windows will probally assign a different address to
it...If wincnc has a manual setup for address you may have to go in
and change it...
