So, the question remains, if I'm careful with a soldering iron, is it
likely I could hack some additional input ports? Any comments? (I'm
still trying to D/L the docs from Hitachi.....)
Hacking output ports would be much trickier, since I'd have to also add
motor drivers, etc. I'd also almost certainly have to go to using LegOS,
I bet.

And the actual URL for the doc is:

Really nice source of info-- thanks for the reference!
