Serial data out of the programming port

We are using a data logger see url:
http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/pro...roducts_id=752

We are using the programming port, not the TTL level port 2, we tried that but could not get it to work well. We use a TTL to RS232 level converter to be able to use that port.

The logger works on the programming port but at times the competition drivers think that they loose control when it is plugged in.

Looking at the specs of the logger once a buffer is filled up it switches to another buffer to write out the data. It may be sending out a wait for buffer signal, I am not sure.

Question, if the logger tells the port to wait for data to be received will that cause the RC and thus the OI not to process the data and cause the loss of control for the operators of the robot?
