Well I thought somebody had said it would work with the ASDG but maybe
what they said was it did not make much since to use the JX-100 on 
the A2232 ports since they will only do 19200 and the scanner is capable
of faster speeds through the internal port.  Although they do provide a means
for selecting the baud rate for the scanner.  

CBM has apparently layed out the rules for handling serial ports.  
Unit 0 is the "default" port and is selectable via preferences.
Unit 1 is ALWAYS the internal serial port.
Unit 2+ is for any additional serial ports in the system.

I have considered trying to patch the scanlab software to use unit 1 
instead of 0 but that would appear to be a hopeless task without sources
to provide some kind of map for the location of the opendevice call.
