Seems like I just read a post about this, so I apoligize if this has been
answered.

There is another way ... there is something like ADT which uses (forget
which), the joystick port or cassette (think it's the joysteck). Search this
newsground via google if you can't find it. A fellow just posted something
about it.

I think it starts with A2222?????, and is found "near" ADT on either Ground
or Asimov. I saw it long ago before I decided to buy a serial card. You have
to make a cable but what the hay.
