If you use the DGT Board through USB, which you need a converter, it will not
use resources and likely little CPU cycles.
OTOH the USB converter doesn't work with the new driver 1.04 but works well with
1.03.

There is a bit of fuzziness when using a USB to Serial conversion, but
communication breaks down using the latest 1.04 driver.

Jeroen got it to work with the latest driver, but I can't duplicate his results.
