Providing headers from the serial and parallel facilities built uinto the chips would be more economical (and sensible) than making people buy a converter or building one in. The AMD8111 southridge provides 2xUSB 2.0 ports so I think I will have to put a host controller on, also there is no firewire provided at all so I will put a host controller on for that as well. I will proably use the NEC µPD720100A USB 2.0 controller (4 ports + 1 header) and the TI IEEE1394b aka FireWire 800 TSB82AA2, Status: link layer controller and mathcing TSB81BA3 physical layer controller (2 ports + 1 header)
