There is no usb-serial adapter. The signal goes via DriveWire to the PC 
and from the PC out the PC USB port to the printer. Boisy and I are 
trying to troubleshooting this and when it is resolved, the list will 
find out and if necessary the Cloud-9 download will be updated.

Far as tuneport goes, the default value from the DW3 NitrOS-9 6309 
Level2 package is 40960. That may be way off but I don't think that is 
the problem.
