For those with an older computer, Staples B&M has a closeout on a Digital Research (I/OMagic) Super ISA Multi-I/O Controller, model DRISA, for $14.50.  Hookups for 2 hard drives, 2 floppies, 2 serial and 1 parallel port, and 2 game ports. IRQ/LPT/COM settings fully configurable by jumper. Does not list Win98 compatability on the box (old stock), but it is confirmed Win98 compatable.  Not a top-of-the-line controller, but great for adding more ports to an old dinasaur like my computer. 

  I added $10 more worth of stuff and used my $10-off-$25 coupon. Stock varies by location of course.
