works! now to figure out how to use VX7 Commander:

jcomeau@aspire:~$ vx7clone -d /dev/ttyUSB0 -o old.vx7
open port /dev/ttyUSB0 ...
1) power up VX-7 with [MON/F] pressed
2) press [Enter] on Keyboard (PC)
3) press [BAND] within 30 s


reading block 1:  - ok (Ack: 06)
reading block 2:  - ok (Ack: 06)
reading block 3: ................................ - ok
close /dev/ttyUSB0
Check Sums: E5/E5 E5/E5 DF/DF (ok)
checking check sums - ok
open output file 'old.vx7'

this was with a cheap Chinese-made serial to USB adapter I got on eBay, along with the usual CT-91 plus 3/16 to 1/8 adapter.
