Wow, that answers a lot of questions, all but one: why is the USB's
'long range' shorter than the Serial's distance? Was my speculation of
the available power true? (500mA vs 9v ... not sure if these two
measurements can be compared)

Several recent posts have mentioned significantly slower performance
of the USB Tower when compared to the serial Tower. After several
measurements, I've concluded that the USB Tower is "natively" only
slightly slower (~20 milliseconds per message) than the Serial Tower.
However, many PC applications appear to add significant extra delay
(~200 msec) for the USB tower.
