I think I have a similar problem with heyu, which expects a serial port 
to talk to a cm-11a, but that has been working thru an ftdi adaptor for 
years, but this mobo has only one seriel port, using pin 5 as the 
missing key pin. It also has sockets for 4 more usb-3.1 back panels 
inserts. I probably ought to get those coming, but its Sunday and chat 
help is $2/hour folks on weekends.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
