The only difference, and possible advantage of the Lexicon in this 
particular case, is that eternal connectors seem to have a longer shelf 
life than internal connector. (Although now I read that there's a 
Firewire version of it as well.)

For internal connectors, there has been ISA, VLB, PCI, PCI-X, PCI-e, and 
probably some more esoteric ones. For external (serial) connectors, 
there hasn't been much more than RS-232 and its siblings, USB and 
Firewire. The last two don't seem to be disappearing for the foreseeable 
future, and would probably still be supported afterwards with a 
converter, like there are USB-to-serial converters today.

And perhaps we could smile kindly upon Lexicon and suggest that they 
open-source their interface specification. :)
