Is a 'Quad PCI card' required for Yaseu CAT control of a 787 or can one of the standard PC serial ports be used? Gary

As far as the CAT protocol goes, the ARIB board talks to the "Packet Data interface", the 6 pin connector (I believe), which has the Tx and Rx audio, PTT and COR. The CAT protocol goes through one of the serial ports on the PC. On the PCI card, we talk to the serial port (CAT port) directly also, all through 1 8 pin cable, (which forks off to 2 connectors one 6 pin and one 8 pin on the back of the Yaesu radio).
Yes we fully support CAT in frequency/mode agile mode along as well as the Doug Hall RBI-1 as well as the Kenwood TM-G707.
As far as Digium cards supporting E&M goes, I really think there is VERY little need or desire for such things these days. (Actually the FXS also operates as a DPT like a DID trunk, which technially *is* a 2 wire loop-closure E&M Interface).
