new computer advice suggestions for using with a K3

Dick Dickinson
The unfortunate aspect of RYO computers with just what you want and no
bloatware is that they can cost 2x or more what a bloated, off-the-shelf
computer costs.  I know.I do my own.

Many motherboards include a serial port jack that only needs the right plug
and socket to provide a "real" serial port.  So if you roll your own, this
is an option.

Otherwise, get a plug-in card as many have suggested.  My radio computer is
a refurbished HP with a 2 port PCI Express serial card.
