I just Don't Get It(TM).
Being an embedded programmer, it is so friggin cheap and easy to chuck
on a TTL-USB chip with drivers available for just about anything. Then
you have usb-serial (or plain old serial if you want). Plonk your own
version of a tiny binary protocol on it an voila!
Why manufacturers crap around with complicated high-level non-compliant
non-standards is beyond me.
