I'd be highly interested in the behavior of the onboard connector, as well as that of a USB-to-serial port if you happen to have one you could try.
I won't have the cable for a couple weeks, but I'm also interested in seeing how it works. I don't have a USB-to-serial device, but I can ask around and see if anyone I know has one I can borrow.
We could also try artificially slowing down the Icom programming loop if you want, which might mirror the behavior of the VM. However, I think I'd prefer not to commit that and slow everyone else down,
If you want to send me some modified files to drop in, or even just tell me what to put where, I'll give it a try. No need to commit it. We might want to take that off list.
Out of curiosity, does dmesg indicate that they're 16550A ports, 8250, or what?
It says they're 16550A's - which is correct. Here's the relevant output. I don't know what that "Redundant entry" message means; does it mean anything to you?
