Why do you not go for the solution that another guy (I do not remember his
name) offered to send you a memory card with all the packages needed
installed?
As I explained: if you are careful enough to keep those essential packages
safe, you will probably never need the serial connection to your Mac
again...
Since I have installed the network card in my Newt, I never used the serial
connection. But yes, I DO use the SER-001 for the keyboard, the connection
to my mobile and the PrintPack.
