Aah, yes the Open Bench LogicSniffer, I have one of those.

Are you using the OLS java GUI ?

I have no serial port problems on linux - but guessing from your 
mail-client I guess that you are on Windows.

Yes, It seems to closed source - there seems to be no development on its 
features (and bugs) - it is a dead project.

Compared to other commercial LAs its proces is extremely low for up to 
32 channels.

It has some nice features- up to 200Mhz sampling - *BUT* only 216k 
sampling memory (not so nice). That is compensated by its ability to do 
RLE compression of its samples - which often can save you especially 
with low-frequency retro systems like CBMs where it in theory can stream 
the RLE samples to the host system "forever"...

You do know that it is only the first 16 channels that are buffered and 
thereby 5-volt tolerant ?

The next 16 channels are unbuffered - and hence they are not 5 volt 
tolerant.

For the last 16 channels to become 5 volt tolerant you need the OLS 
input buffer wing - a separate add on.

http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/Logic-Sniffer-16bit-Input-Buffer-Wing-p-721.html

Anyway I've never used the clock-input pins on the OLS - but a (quick) 
look at the traces on the PCB shows that they are running directly to 
the FPGA - and hence I suspect that neither of CKI,TRGI,TRGO are 5v 
tolerant either...
