Why not attach LED's to a view port you it would work like a TV remote
max data rate could be up to 1 MB with common I R.

On the point of through hull penetrations, as an aside, if you have
purely
data-only cables you can make a dataport that goes through the hull

penetrating it using read switches and electromagnets. I've tested a
three
wire setup for sending binary data. two bits plus a pulser. It's not very
fast compared to using a straight hookup... think of it as binary
morsecode
but it works.
You're input would look something like
Port 1 | Port 2 | Port 3
1 0 0
0 0 1
0 0 0
1 0 1
Every time port 3 changes you "Sample" the feed, so you would end up with
something like
10000010
Port 3 would be there solely to indicate when new data (and complete)
data
is ready to be read. otherwise when you send the exact data back and
forth
(as the two sends of 00) it might misread it as only a single send.
Incedently that whole thing would just produce the number 65 or the
letter
