	We are considering using IBM's ARTIC card, which is a realtime
interface co-processor providing multiple RS-232/RS-422 ports, in a 
warehousing application.  This application will require simultaneous serial 
I/O between an IBM 4341 mainframe, Barcode Scanners, printers, etc.  The ARTIC
card will reside in an IBM 7552 industrial computer, IBM-AT or Zenith Z-248,
(IBM-AT compatible) if possible.  Trouble is, IBM isn't at all sure if the 
card will work in any other machine other than an true-blue IBM :-(.

	If anyone out there has had some experience with this card (regardless
of the machine it is installed in) I would appreciate any useful info, pro or 
con.  Especially if it is functional in a Zenith Z-248 MicroComputer.

	This is my first posting to the Net, so if I did it all wrong please
don't burn me too bad with your flame throwers :-)  Thanks in advance.
