According to Adam, RXTX is broken on OSX. I'll use
this bug to track OSX issues.

    Confirmed.
    * Modified blacklist checking to be case-insensitive
    * Added "cu" and "bluetooth" devices to the blacklist

    On iBook:
    -/dev/tty[cu].usbserial-1A1A[incrementing numbers] is
    created along with standard /dev/tty.usbserial devices,
    cause unknown

    On both iBook and Powerbook:
    -USBDriver.java:getPortList():driver.disconnect
    *sometimes* hangs on /dev/tty.usbserial-1B1B, cause unknown.

    Still hangs on occasion disconnecting second usbserial-1B1B
    or similar device.

    Attempted to hard code device for iBook, but connect plot
    gradient.

    Made the following changes to USBDriver.java:
    Line 1040: in if statement add:
    (port.getName().length() > 24)
    Line 1044: added break;

    Increased timeout to 2.5 seconds, decreased timer refresh to
    5 seconds. On the iBook, this works "okay."

    There seems to be an underlying bug with RXTX and OSX.
