Good to know, thanks.

Ah. I'm not too worried as I don't have anything that'll mate with the
wee parallel connector anyway. The AUI connector looks unusual too. Am
I right in thinking that the AUI connector just lets me use a
different media with the on-board le0, and that I would need an SBUS
board if I wanted two interfaces?
