Got it, thanks. 8 bits plus parity, you don't see that very often.
A quick scan confirms that this would be doable. It's a fair amount of new
software, plus a different host connection. 7 pin mini-DIN connectors are
readily available so the simplest answer would be to put such a connector on
the board and rely on a cable with connectors at both ends, but I don't know
how hard those are to find.
As I said before, I'm not likely to do such a project, but anyone who's
interested can use the existing designs as a starting point.
