When I connect the bitsy serial line to my desktop, con works as expected.
When I connect it to a laptop (with only one serial connector)
I loose characters of the boot loader output, sometimes I see its complete
prompt (boot>) somtimes only half of it, and the same for other output.

Any ideas where to start looking, what could be wrong?
I _think_ that in the past consolefs worked OK on the same laptop
(but maybe I changed kernels in the mean time).

Thanks,
Axel.
