    I agree putting a power supply cord port on the round case would be too much of a hassle.
    It probably wouldn't even fit underneath at the base or anything.

    Wait... there is a big ass plan to dredge the river to remove PCBs from the riverbed... so it seems that either:

    Dredging the river will decimate the shipwrecks

    or salvaging the shipwrecks will spread PCBs back into the river, which is one of the big problems with dredging

    This is something I created a few years ago when I realized "Why can't I just access /dev/stdin"
    Same thing goes for "/dev/ttSy*" or /dev/
    There really is no reason why you can't access serial devices.
