I thought about retaining both examples. For example:

"Debug on a Hitachi eval board running the SH-3 rom monitor.\n"
"Specify the serial device it is connected to\n"
"(e.g., /dev/tty on Unix or com2 on Windows).\n"
"On Windows only, you can use the parallel port to download to it,\n"
"in which case specify that as the second argument (e.g., lpt1)."
