OK, so you saw http://www.earth.li/pipermail/bush-hacking/2002-August/ 
which should tell you what needs to be done to get the NC OS side of 
things working... also look at Vincent's page 
(http://www.kyllikki.org/hardware/bushstb/) which I think'll tell you 
where to slodder things onto the SuperIO chip.

(Alternatively, google for SMSC 37C669  (the superIO chip) and MAX232 
(or whatever line driver you're using) datasheets.  Connect the RXD/TXD 
of the *SECOND* serial port on the SMSC'669 to the 'RX out' and 'TX in' 
pins of your line driver.)

This will keep you amused for about 10 minutes before you decide that 
Fresco's nasty, and you prefer your laptop - but good luck anyway :)
