Sure, the timing isn't really , really predictable (8kHz frame rate and all that).. but assuming you're just controlling something where you need 10s or 100s of millisecond timing and shoving data back and forth..

  Why the proscription against USB?
Because of difficulty with USB device drivers? Or the plethora of serial
port emulators that have unforeseen interactions with software that thinks
it's talking to a real serial port? or what?
