Hmm... if you're always xmode'd at the same baud rate on that port, I'd go
ahead and "iniz" it on startup, so that the driver's init/term routines don't
get called each time you use it. Not positive, but I think that helps prevent
serial probs on the ST. Dunno about now, but the ST version used to use a lot
of the ST BIOS ROM routines.
Is this during same boot? Or after the machine was off for a while? Or? ST's
tend to have heat problems too. This a Mega or old-style ST? On the oldstyle,
I took off the internal RF shield to let the heat get out better. Worked
wonders on preventing flakiness.
