[lcdproc] Keypad interface

[Rob Hansen]

Yeah, that's what I thought.  We have decided (especially with the advent of the
ATX spec) to avoid the issue entirely by simply supplying a DB-9 extension
cable.  It will have to come out a hole in the case and connect on the outside
of the PC in same cases, but it will be a low profile DB-9.  These cables (and
the power cable) will come with all drive-bay insert modules (available week
after next).
