I am starting to build a 1.3 image, and taking the usual look around for things that would get lost. SerialPort>>openPort: appears to address named ports, but it looks like it will miss failures. What I did for 1.1 is capture the result of the primitives and raise an error if it is nil. Any interest?
yes send code :)
As an aside, does anyone know the state of serial ports on Linux? With Cog? I have been having good luck with native ports using Andreas' Windows VM. I have not done as well on my Linux laptop, but I can't tell whether that is related to Linux, the Linux VM, or (my lead theory) USB-serial converters. I need to get Ubuntu on a box with native ports and put it where I can stress test serial I/O; it has been a elusive combination, but I will get there.
