There is nothing inherently wrong with the ROM serial driver (that I am aware
of).  It lacks some of the nicer features that the RAM-based serial drivers 
have, like manipulation of DTR, break stuff, parity error character 
replacement, etc etc etc.

This is NOT an official Apple statement or position.  Just my personal 
experience with the serial drivers on the Macintosh.
