[Soekris] net4511 second serial port & headers

[Jon Burford]

I have looked through the archives and am not able to find where the pins
for the second serial port have been accessed successfully (from the top or
bottom of the board).  As you say, the PCMCIA connector was put on top of
the pads for the second serial port.  Is there a way I can get at the tx and
rx pins with my soldering iron or is this serial port effectively dead (as
long as the PCMCIA connector is left on the board)?

Regards,
Jon

Yes, see archive

Unfo, no.  When the PCMCIA stuff came in, the connectors ended up
on top of the pads for the second port.  The 45{1,2}1 is basically
the 4501 with some redesign removing PCI and adding PCMCIA.
