I'm a little hesitant to jump in here, but I did read Sean's post and read it again after the most recent comments. I'm not sure any amount an analysis of it would have lead me to attempt the 180 rotation fix which kingofleet suggested. This is mostly because it doesn't seem clear how to hold the serial port when doing this comparison. If you held the 5 pin side of the serial port closest to you the results would be opposite from if you held the 4 pin side closest to you. Again, I may just be misunderstanding the suggestion though...

I think that it would be really helpful to document the correct sequence of wire colors from left to right entering the "net ioio" port of the jaguar when facing the jaguar from the front with a serial to CAN adapter plugged in to it. It could be that this information is already out there though and we missed it.
