Edit Reason: I removed text that reflected my confusing the two serial adapters. I added a mention of a keyboard.

I have the PADI serial console and I find it works nicely. (I should have mentioned as much.)
(1) The pins on the AUDIO DAC ADD-ON BOARD's UART connection are not soldered?
That is, are they just for appearances? The pins presently connect to nothing?
Seems strange, but upon scrutinizing the board, I can see no leads to its UART receptacle.
(2) Were I properly to solder a 5V connection (in addition to the others) to the UART connection, is there any way (that you see, with code) to convert this UART to a USB 1.x-compatible output?
I am really only considering USB 1.x speeds. At the very least, I wonder if I could arrange having a keyboard attached thusly.
Yeah, this would be a significant effort, and I would more logically just use a USB 2.0 hub on one of the extant ports (but connection via a hub may not be possible for some fussy hardware). I am just curious about its feasibility.
