| VERSATILE SERIAL PAK BASED GADGETS
Many variations of a base “serial pak” model can be customized on demand, or ordered by a formal name. You can have the serial port header facing inside the case or outside the case, a Tandy Communications ROM or the CoCoNet ROM, a bluetooth module or a MicroSD memory module. By mixing and matching these components, you can turn a lot of neat ideas into reality. The best two paks would be the Deluxe Wireless RS-232 Pak, and the Drive Pak. |

One device that can plug directly into the 2×6 header is Sparkfun’s EB301 bluetooth module. In fact, in a Deluxe Wireless Pak, the header and module are mounted inside the case. The other device to arrive soon is the 2 GIG memory module which will be used as a simultaneous Disk BASIC and OS-9 drive system.
All pak models use the 6551 ACIA to communicate with either a bluetooth radio module or 2 GIG drive module.
