before I reinvent the wheelI haven't actually done this, but I'm pretty sure the
theory is ok...

On the handyboard web page is the pa79600 icb file which lets you use port a bit
7 as serial i/o. I have successfully used this to control some minissc's. I

pages have a basic serial program on them which you may be able to use...

Adam
