MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - Listslots adding options to command line?

This is a question about sdlmame but I guess it's pretty much the same for the Windows command line.

How do you specify additional options for slot devices on the command line? For example I can put the 'quadralink' serial card into NuBus slot B by doing this:

Code:

$ mame maciicx -nbb quadralink

But the quadralink card adds 4 serial ports each with additional options for either 'terminal' or 'null_modem'.

Code:

nbb:quadralink:serport0 null_modem       RS232 Null Modem
                                  terminal         Serial Terminal

nbb:quadralink:serport1 null_modem       RS232 Null Modem
                                  terminal         Serial Terminal

nbb:quadralink:serport2 null_modem       RS232 Null Modem
                                  terminal         Serial Terminal

nbb:quadralink:serport3 null_modem       RS232 Null Modem
                                  terminal         Serial Terminal

Is there a way to set this up on the command line before starting the emulation? The only way I've been able to do it is through the Mame UI "slot devices" menu item after the emulation is started.
