Hi Bob, Too late - I already bought it, and it seems to work great. My only tests have been to connect two ports together and run data bidirectionally at 115200bps, but it looks to me like the shared interrupt thing might be a benefit - pumping data in the other direction simultaneously actually lowered the interrupt per second count somewhat. Fascinating. :-) ...
