Thanks for the suggestion. 0x100 doesn't seem to work, no data is being 
seen at all. Using 0x800, I get a bit more data, and if I slow down how 
fast I'm reading from the port I get a bit more (?????), but the final 
pass only reads two bytes before hanging indefinitely, not honoring the 
VMIN/VTIME parameters. It's almost like data is being thrown away, but the 
actual number of bytes is very small so I don't see how that could be 
happening.
