On Revolution 2.0.1 you can receive a NUL.  However, even in 'for  
binary update', you must end a line with LF in write.  This will  
probably prevent use with your instrument.

However, if 10 is a harmless command or 10 can be harmless data for a  
multibyte command, then you might come up with some trick to get around  
this.

The write limitation is bug reported.  I think work is in progress on  
OS X serial bugs, but I have not seen anything in 2.1B3.

This could be useful, depending on the OS X serial fix schedule.  Could  
you provide a URL or some info?  Thanks!
