Internal notebooks are known to often fail the UART tests since they
don't have UARTs but just simulate them (and are often a bit slow in
this simulation).

You can turn on debugging for the driver (flags 0x80 if i remember
well) and see which tests it fails.  Make the test more benign by
adding some DELAY().
