@benjojo you have the USB version? I remember the one with an RS-422 connection! (I think it had a PIC-18 microcontroller inside)

@javierg huh interesting, so the one I now have is the same as the one I had as a child (that I suspect my mother got rid of when they moved house at some point). Never seen the serial ones, but it's obvious at the time they were made that they would exist
