Richard, The far right slot on the PK is actually a modified serial slot. Using the provided cables it can be used as a standard serial connector or be used to connect external keyboards.
I am interested to know how you obtained a 6GB card as I thought they came in 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32GB capacities. It is very true that the Flash Disk is very small, this is where it is very important to obtain a CompactFlash card that will suit you, which is where the 32GB card is nice as it is roughly 150USD.
