The serial cable one is annoying. But you can modify the cable to allow
the cover to slide down from the kbd. Most of the CF WiFi cards do block
the stylus (and the headphone jack) but some, including the Socket low
power ones, don't. I have to remember to either remove the stylus first
with mine (a WCF-11) or use something else as a stylus.
