I've tried this several times but it never works for me.  I have no problem
getting code and data INTO my Yaroze, but I still have not been able to
use the SIOCONS commands to get data from the Yaroze to my PC.

I wound up writing a simple little Yaroze program to "printf" the values
in hex to the console, and using a terminal program to log the output to
a file, which I then need to "hex2bin" convert it.  Blah.

Any ideas?  Obviously the "Yaroze->PC" direction works under program
control, but the SIOCONS commands don't seem to like that data direction.
