Hmmm... I haven't really thought about it (having direct link from the
Expander to a computer). It could be:

a) serial port
b) MIDI port
c) USB
d) Ethernet

The added hardware cost is $10-$15 (my cost) per module, so I guess the
question to ask is:

a) who wants to volunteer to write the editors
b) is a burden cost of say $30/module worth it (everyone pays it)

This would push the planned cost of the Expander from $189 to say $219. Big
deal?
