Actually, given that you're running a form of Unix, you can probably do a
soft link to the actual port in the form that Squeak is expecting. I've
done that with the gumstix (which runs Linux).

So, to make a link for ttyUSB0 so you can reference it as port 4, do this:

ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS4

Then you can pass in 4 as the port number, and it should work.

It may end up being an endian problem - Macs and PCs are opposite. I can't
imagine that this would manifest with a ByteArray, but its probably worth a
try just to rule it out.

Try sending a ByteArray with the bytes reversed... The other thing to try
is to send the bytes individually, with a slight (say 1 ms) delay in
between each byte.
