From the eBay listing I take it the board is for the wireless serial pak, that is no longer available on the coco3.com, as opposed to the micro SD pak, that is now taking orders again on coco3.com.  

Either way it looks like a cool project starter, and apparently the serial board can be used for other outcomes than a bluetooth connection to a PC.  Not the expert on that though.
