	It's serial.  The baud rate is programmable.  Also the protocol may
not necessarily be the same from game to game.  Remember, this is a Toy;
there ain't no operating system, so the game authors can do anything they
want to the hardware.

	There are specifications laid down for Lynx development, and plenty
of example code and core routines, but the developers are free to ignore
them (at their own risk, of course).
