Nope, I do not.
I have a FADS850SAR that has been working quite nicely for
half a year or so.  No problems that I can tell, and I get
output (and can input) on RS232 port 1 just fine.
I'm not sure what T6 does though - but I also use mpcbug.
I'm just about finished adding support for this board to
ppcboot; if that is something you would be interested in,
then please just hang on a bit more.
