What is impossible to get is the interconnect port, isn't it?
I thought the internal connector was a pretty common connector.

Yes, it's possible. Even more ports are possible. Ports have hardware =20=
IDs and are registered somehow. If you add a new hardware ID such as =20
Eckhart's BlueTooth port, you can have more ports in the list of =20
serial devices.
