but ISTR it was rather trivial to do. I didn't see an obvious serial
port on your board, but if it had one, it'd likely be a 2x5 0.1" pin
header patch, potentially with one pin missing, a la DLV11J.
OTOH, if this is the 1st Gen. Viking board, configuration could
require a special cab kit. The Viking QDT and variants require a
special cab kit that includes both SCSI and Serial off of the 50-pin
connector. This of course makes life interesting.
