Bill, I don't have a Pharo image handy to check right now, but look at class SerialPort. Methods such as #openPort: should accept either integer (port number) or string (named device) parameters (if not, grab it from a Squeak image). All changes are in the VMs already, so there is nothing to worry about on the VMMaker side. If you need the background on this, it's at http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7266.
