Re: Presumably the 89% left since 2010/11...

Of course they are. Where do you think they got the money for new ones?

Looks like its got a usb ethernet adaptor connected and can run ubuntu. There is also mention of general purpose io. I expect you can hook up a usb to serial or parallel adaptor if you so wish.
