I have sofar only used power on the back connector. Tboltmon works
out-of-the-box on the front RS232. Does GPS Monitor have extras compared
to Tboltmon? I have not yet got Lady Heather to work, have not spent much
time on it though.

I got the RS-422 from Sams message (16th of April).

This Port A (or monitor port) does it go directly to the Trimble CPU ASIC?
Are there perhaps a hidden second serial port also on the normal Tbolts?

It would be nice to put the known infromation on the GPSTM boards on a
webpage so that newcomers do not have to start from the beginning.
