Yes.  There are times when it's handy to have a serial console plus a
second serial device, and it would be nice not to bodge a nasty hole in
an otherwise neat case.

It would be also be nice to see an eSATA or Firewire connector to allow
for external hard drives.  Perhaps the 7501 could offer that?
