Does anyone know how to make Squeak let go of a Mac serial port after it uses it (say, for a MIDI interface)? On my G3 Powerbook, I have one lone serial port. After using it for MIDI-ing, I wanted to backup my PalmPilot, but it insisted that Squeak still had the serial port -- despite moving back to internal synthesizer, and despite quitting Squeak. I could backup after restart.
It's not a huge deal (I don't backup that often :-), but if there's an easy solution (a Mac-centric thingie? A Squeak expression to evaluate?), I'd appreciate it.
Thanks! Mark

I do not know about serial ports, but Squeak does not relinguish control of my sound card after playing sounds in Morphic. The only "fix" I have found is to interrupt the current process using CMD-. Works most of the time.
Hope this helps and Happy Thanksgiving to all,
