I feel like I'm making delaying excuses, worried the flashing procedure won't work. It's time to "have a go" with what I have on hand.
If the wheels fall off, I'm happy to buy a pre-configured 34s.

I am now the owner of the USB serial board, same as mentioned in the WP34S docs. I've just spent the evening trying to install it. I stuffed it up, just a tad.
The board, as per the Appendix H pictures, goes over a post. To make it do this, you need to cut back supports with an art knife. I didn't cut away enough, and the board only went half-way down the post.

The problem came when I tried to re-assemble the case: there's an LCD support in the case that now hits the mini-USB board.
So my careful work needs to be stripped out, the post supports CORRECTLY cut away, and reinstall the board again.

Oh well.
