 I'm just ramping up the learning curve on ST/V for the Mac and I would
 appreciate any feedback on a few questions.

 1. I don't see any classes for real world objects like serial ports and
    SCSI ports.  Do they exist somewhere?
 
 2. Has anyone done any benchmarking of output to windows?  Specifically,
    how many lines of 80 characters could be written to a 20 line window?  And
    if the window was wraparound instead of scrolling (output from top to
    bottom then restart at top)?

 3. How compatible will my code be with ST/Windows?  Source code or image
    code compatible?  I plan on using ST to develop a GUI for a tester.  Are
    there any gotchas?  My coworker just received ST/Windows and at a quick
    glance, the class hierarchy has changed a fair bit.

Thanks,
Rob
