I haven't started investigating it yet but would suspect you need to access
the processors serial port registers directly. If you find any data please
share it, I would be willing to help also (I have a PIIIx).
My biggest concern is the amount of power the CM1A will use. It might be
a good idea to add external power (a battery of course).
