was able to shoehorn in four on my main Linux system, but I had to
give each one its own IRQ, and modify the serial driver (that was
easier for me than attempting to dig up the required kernel command
line arguments).
Fortunately, the second serial card has jumpers for using IRQ 5 and 9
as well. Since there won't be a sound card or a mouse, there
shouldn't be any conflicts.
