if this is your system, it came with one serial port onboard, with a header for a optional second serial port

i personally would not bother looking the second serial port and would recomend buying a "QUALITY" USB to serial dongle

(advoide those $10-15 dollar units a quality one is 20-30 dollars and will work with 99% of serial hardware out there
