Thanks, the fact that the serial port supports rs-422 is pretty well
known/obvious to us old timers that use/used the serial port to hook
to Appletalk over serial networks, since this is exactly how Apple
did that (ie rs-422).

Personally while I think Adam's internal serial to USB item is a
great addition to our arsenal, I have so many old computers that
serial ports are quite available ;~)
