Keep in mind though that the twiddler also functions as a mouse though, so you
dont really need two serial ports for a keyboard and mouse, if you use the
built in mouse.  Also, the keyboard passthrough cable only supplies power to
the twiddler, so it can be cut off and connected to your power supply instead,
if you are so inclined.
