Adam Glass is a first cousin. (Unfortunately, he's now gone over to the
Dark Side and works for Microsoft. ;-) Yes, this would be a good idea. But
hacking serial ports onto the SCSI bus would be still better, because there
would be less of a bottleneck.

In any event, how has the zs code changed in -current compared to the
released 1.1? If it used to handle 19200 baud, there is definitely
something wrong now.
