And, for some reason, they did not put on a serial port.
Thus proving that it is possible to be too clever. Oh well, now the fun begins. I guess it will get worse from here on out.
Please, mobo vendors, just put on the serial port. USB is not an option.

The legacy of PC serial, parallel, IDE, floppy and PCI is fading away quickly. They were fine in their day, but slow by todays standards. They also used lots of board space since they were so wide.
As painful as it may be to let go. We just need to get USB support up for LinuxBIOS debug.
