Hello gpfly,

chech the “FT232” from FTDI Chip: ftdichip.com

At there site are “Virtual Com Port” Drivers for Windows.

Free 3rd Party drivers for linux can you found at: ftdi-usb-sio.sourceforge.net/

I have builded a RS232<->USB converter with the chip. Really easy …
Until now, i have only used the windows drivers.

Best regards

I believe easiest solution is just to buy additional card with serial ports. There are lots of such products on market, as a variant you can check www.lavalink.com

Unfortunately there is no QNX support in datasheet for that device
