David,

Actually I have allowed for a pretty complicated addition should that be 
necessary.   There is an auxiliary connector.   It contains the 8 bit wide 
stamp bus, one un assigned stamp pin, power, and a couple of DAC outputs 
among other things.  So it would be possible to add a pretty complicated 
device on a little PC board with a flat cable interconnection.
