It is a real serial device, no USB.

Never seen anything like that before. Without the numbers of the ICs, I
couldn't even hazard a guess.

I can tell you what the components are (I used to build electronic
circuits for a living);

MAX232 converts TTL voltage levels (5V & 0V nominal) to RS232 levels
(+/-12V nominal).
The 74HC04 is an inverting buffer.
The three pin black device by the red LED is probably a voltage
regulator, since there appears to be a power cable.
The silver item labelled 6.000 is a crystal.
Assorted resistors and capacitors, and two diodes. Plus the LED of
course.

Is the big black block a PCMCIA connector, perhaps?

Maybe it was just me.

I felt that by including the Cc: line in his sig. Dotan was dragging out the
issue of Cc:'ing somebody's INBOX, a very basic etiquette violation, that
just happen on a different thread. (I don't see the point of taking the
time to start a topic, but not bother to check the list-mail box, and have
someone Cc: your INBOX to inform you they put something in your list-box.)

Also, it felt I had seen it before. Dotan once posted about how he would
never post without doing the footwork first, then abruptly ended that post
with two or three questions that basically equalled the first paragraph of
the respective man pages.

Anyway, I probably shouldn't have posted regardless. Seemed like a good idea
at the time. :-) Finally got caught up on some sleep.
