[arm-allstar] RPI V1.02 and USB GPIO operation

[Larry]

David,

Any chance you can give us a hint about the interconnect that will be 
utilized or type of components that will be needed
to use PTT and COR from whatever means other than USB sound fob. Would 
be nice to start gathering or mailing off for parts/modules etc.?

You know how it goes... anxious to have everything function (like 
yesterday) once Ver 2.0 is finally released.
