Yes yes yes - has a smartcard socket, a smartmedia socket (BTW, where the hell can I buy one of these ancient things from these days?) and a pocket docket thingy.
Google shows up a few vendors; it would seem to be 20 UKP for 128MB, which is a complete ripoff, but sufficient for a fixed 'disk' for the emailer.
Incidentally, IIRC, SmartMedia is just a raw flash chip exposed to the outside world. Which means no wear levelling, or automatic erasing, or anything, so actually *writing* to the damned things requires a fair bit of work.
(4-pin serial nastiness - probably vcc/gnd and txd rxd - wouldn't be surprised if it was usual UART RS232-style data format (but at 'TTL' levels probably)).
If I were designing this, I'd hook it up to one of the other UARTs. Might be useful as a serial user port.
Now, hacking the Dockit --- that's a completely different matter...

I couldn't find anything as polished, free, for my JTAG cable under linux. I ended up using libjtag + armtool, which works with a variety of parallel port cables.
I cannot find any documentation for this thing. Hooking it up to libjtag would probably be dead easy if I know what pin was wired to what --- I'll try taking the lid off and fishing around inside, but it's probably just an anonymous IC.
I suppose I'll just try it and see.
(I've just found another JTAG adaptor in my Drawers Of Doom --- it's a P&E Revision A ColdFire BDM cable. It's got a 26-pin header, and internally there's a 20-pin socketed IC... I suspect it's even more exotic than the Insight cable. If anyone cares, the IC has $1D1F P&E written on it.)
