Ok, I agree with Eric disagreeing with himself regarding the fact that a
combo board would be the cat's pajamas. I'll still keep my additional
2100's though. :)
Like Eric mentioned, I guess the real hurdle is finding a spot for all
the ports to sit in or on or around the Newt. What if we got rid of the
whole interconnect port (which gets obsoleted by the SER-001 anyway...)
in return for a row of more useful mini-DIN and audio jacks? The last
thing we want is another dongle.
Just a thought.
