Comment #8 on issue 1057 by
[hidden email]: SerialPlugin doesn't
handle arbitrary nodes names
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1057Yes, you are right, this is the mess with all these isString everywhere.
I'm not the author of the code. ;-)
I dunno if this is a good idea to have portNumber and portName depending on
the platform.
Maybe we should rewrite it in order to only use names like 'COM1' for
Windows and '/dev/ttyS*' for Unix/Linux ?
Any comments about that ?
