I do have an internal header for a second serial port, that was one
of the reasons I bought this particular board. But I had of course to
add a bracket to gete a proper connector, and it so happens that the
computer case I bought has a crap "tool-free" system to secure
bracket/add-on cards, which means that as soon as I exerce any kind of
force on the DB9 socket to try to plug a serial cable.. the bracket
gets free and disappears in the computer case...
You can't be a Real Embedded Engineer until you have carved a D
connector opening in a chassis by hand. Use file, drill, Dremel
mototool, even X-Acto knife (works fairly well on aluminum), or any
combination thereof.
