I added in those connections (PB6/7) because I had an extra wire to play
with, best not to let it go to waste... No idea yet on what I cold best
use them for. But essentially the serial ports are the main connection.

For those interested the original article was to connect one 64 with a
MAE assembler or PAL assembler to a test 64 system, with the proper
(recieve) routines and assembler patches loaded -the developer could
then assemble code directly to the test system's memory to speed
development/debugging time.
