Re: the T40 the fragile lid is a bit of a worry & from checking the

be a problem.
(Hopefully I am referring to the correct "serial port", as I'm wanting
to connect my GPS using one of these connectors:

If you don't have a serial port you can use a USB/Serial adapter. Most of
them work with Linux. For connecting up a (Garmin) GPS, if you don't
already have the cable you could ask Bruce Whitfield in Sumner for one:

Do you have the GPS receiver already?
