trying to control a sony cam with max via lanc. dont have an usb2serial, so - in the meanwhile - i activated an old os9-mac with a serial port. i tried to feed a message like [0x18 0x34] into the serial-object [serial a 9600 8 1] in max-os9 (also tried serialX). i get some response-numbers back through the port, but the cam does not react. 

do i have to sync to the start/stopbit? and how? (but i thought that would have to be the job of the serial-object)
