+Keyspan PDA Serial Adapter
+
+ Single port DB-9 serial adapter, pushed as a PDA adapter for iMacs (mostly
+ sold in Macintosh catalogs, comes in a translucent white/green dongle).
+ Fairly simple device. Firmware is homebrew.
+
+Current status:
+ Things that work:
+ basic input/output (tested with 'cu')
+ blocking write when serial line can't keep up
+ changing baud rates (up to 115200)
+ getting/setting modem control pins (TIOCM{GET,SET,BIS,BIC})
+ sending break (although duration looks suspect)
+ Things that don't:
+ device strings (as logged by kernel) have trailing binary garbage
+ device ID isn't right, might collide with other Keyspan products
+ changing baud rates ought to flush tx/rx to avoid mangled half characters
+ Big Things on the todo list:
+ parity, 7 vs 8 bits per char, 1 or 2 stop bits
+ HW flow control
+ not all of the standard USB descriptors are handled: Get_Status, Set_Feature
+ O_NONBLOCK, select()
+
+ The device usually appears at /dev/ttyUSB1 .
