Well I was thinking of the various hardware cards like
the  speech/sound card or the RS232 card.   I know you
will already have  a serial port but who knows what  kind
of situation a user might  encounter.    Even if it's only to
test the card.    Also the cocomax ADC and the stereo
synthesiser cart and whatever else the  user might want
to try to use.    I would want to make it as  versitile and as
close to the real thing as possible.
