Re: Visor

[Joshua Simons - Sun High Performance Computing <Joshua.Simons@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have to say I was underwhelmed by what I saw on the site. The
Springboard idea is kind of nice (I guess) and they seem to have
some interesting ideas for Springboard modules, but the actual
listed offerings seem weak (modem, backup, golf(!)).

I didn't see anything there that would make we want to run out and
buy one.

With respect to the question at hand, it seems from the site that the
unit's native communication mechanism is USB, not serial. But they do
say that a serial connection will be available in some way...
