Ok, let's shift the conversation over to serial buffering techniques!
Is using the existing serial driver adequate, or do you suggest going directly
to the z8530?
If you suggest using the Mac serial driver, which is better, the ROM or RAM
serial driver.  Is this even an issue anymore?
Would you suggest leaving the driver's receive buffer at the default size or
setting it smaller or larger?
Any other information on handling serial I/O optimally would be greatly 
appreciated.  Including techniques for effectively handling MultiFinder and
serial I/O (without serial I/O killing other MultiFinder tasks).
