I've just bought a Surf Squirrel from eBay (link to auction below) and I know I can add SCSI drives to it but what can I connect to the 9 pin serial?

You could hook Surf Squirrel serial to an awesome retro ISDN modem, example:

 - Motorola BitSurfer.
 - MultiTech MultiModem

You could hook it to a fine retro serial printer, example:

- Diablo 630 (true letter quality)
- Okididata ML320
- Apple ImageWriter

With with proper NULL adapter cable, you could hook  your Surf Squirrel serial to your PC and use "Amiga Explorer" (included with Amiga Forever) possibly faster than with the stock on-board serial port.

Finally, and possibly the most exciting, you could connect Surf Squirrel serial via a NULL adapter to the on-board serial port for some real fun like running two copies of NCOMM and sending files over z-modem.
