- There's a hack for adding another serialport and a parallelport to the Amiga.

- $bfc00x or whatever it was. It comes with a serial.device that knows of
- the new, added, I/O chip. The hack and all it's dokumentation is available

- to build. I think it was called multiface or something like that.
