The 5501 has two serial ports, the standard case only brings one out
though. Since the standard case has a 'slot' you could put a serial-
attachable display into the slot and wire it to the onboard serial port.
Cables for attaching to the onboard serial port are cheap and easy to
find in Germany (Reichelt has them for example).
