Hi,
For the RTC you may be able to use the TS-5620 which is a $14 RTC
card that is used with the TS-7200. I had to buy this card for the TS-
7200 units I have.
For the RS485 you could check out the TS-SER2 or TS-SER4. These have
the option of RS485 on some of their ports. You could also build/buy
a RS232-RS485 converter and use on of the GPIO to control the
direction...
Looking at the prices it may be better to send your board back to be
upgraded - especially as you won't need to pay as much duty due to it
being a 'repair'.
I have noticed that Technologics has a new website layout when
ordering which makes all the options much more visible - basically a
check list rather than a single pull down list.
Hope this helps,
PJE
