the External Computer creates a command packet, it should place
a unique number (from 0 to 127) into the seqno field of the
packet. When the Serial Adapter later generates a response to that
packet, it will place this same value in the seqno field of the
response. In this way, the External Computer can match re-
sponses with commands.
