Option a) a usb to TTL cable as described here
http://en.qi-hardware.com/wiki/Serial_console
Option b) I have an old Compact Armada M700 (Pentium2) with serial and

used the serial port and I have search for the charger in the deeps of
my "Diogenes closet".
Make your choice and send me a private with your Address to send it to
