Ah. I see. I haven't worked with minicom before. The last time I tried to 
connect the M100 to a PC was when I had a SuperROM with Disk+. That was a long 
time ago. 

Thanks for clarifying, Daryl.

 I think he's done that for minicom default reasons, not Linux reasons.
 You can override it (of course) to point at whatever device you like,
 the caveat being that USB serial devices tend to dynamically jump all
 over the place (unless there is some udev magic).
