Hi Mark, Thanks for your assistance.
I was unable to get the stages working on my current Windows system, though this could be due to the fact that my current desktop runs Windows 8, so I decided to skip straight to Linux.
Apparently these controllers utilize an FTDI type USB to serial chip which I believe comes in most prebuilt kernels these days. I found this guide fairly helpful- http://ftdi-usb-sio.sourceforge.net/ , but I think most systems will give a /dev/ttyUSB* device after plugging in the stages. I then used
stty - F /dev/USB0 speed 921600 cs8 to configure the serial port. After doing this I was able to talk to the stages, although the one I'm using to test currently has a broken piezo (no movement but makes noise). So when I issue the home search command, 1OR, I can hear it trying to move, or when I issue 1VE it responds with "1VE CONEX_AGP V1.1.2" . I used a program called CuteCom to talk to the stages, which is perfect for testing purposes.
I am hoping to get these working with motor-record style medm/opi screens but not sure how much effort this will be.

The problem was that the baud rate must be set to 921600. That baud rate is not currently supported in the EPICS driver. I will fix that, and let you know when it's committed to Subversion where you can download it. It will be in the next release of asyn.
