Gary's problem is with the UART not being serviced fast enough due to (?)
slow writed to the HD. It would still have to write once to the HD with the
cache enabled. Subsequent accesses would be faster, but the first access,
the initial write to the HD, sounds like it's slowing things down.

16550 UART'ed serial ports are getting cheaper every day...
