Re: [NTLK] connectivity

SER-001 is a small printed circuit board (PCB) with a serial port on.
The standard multiway connector can be fragile and with repeated use can
fail. The SER-001 brings a standard Apple type serial connector to the
top of your Newt (in the space filled by that strange square blanking
plate) and saves your multiway connector. It also means you don't need
to find a serial dongle, which are becoming increasingly rare.

Cheers.
