Two of those serial lines (LAN and Serial2) are actually the same output
device and can't be used at the same time.  Still THREE serial lines.  What

None.  That's the TT.

See above.

yikes - I *hope* US model has one of these!

On another note, I have a Mega-4/Ste and would love to know if I have
a floating point chip without opening the case (I'm chicken for the next
three months :-).  Is there an available software test?

These are really nice.  The Stereo is quite nifty although I get better
sound from a "boom-box", which is to be expected.
