Sorry, sent that last one to Jef only by mistake.

Aha. So, I increased the latency on linux (after first turning off the 
low_latency flag, which the driver sets by default):

# setserial  /dev/ttyUSB0 ^low_latency
# echo 16 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/devices/ttyUSB0/latency_timer

Now it works. With a value of 2 in there, it mostly works (glitches 
occasionally). Here's the timing:

With a value of 4 it downloaded the whole memory dump with no errors.
