Since you have the SER2, are you using the COMM output terminals to drive the ASC's? That's the output that offer the enhance drive strength to drive a longer string of peripherals.
From the SER2 User's Manual...
SER2 also provides ample serial drive current to all connected devices, eliminating the need for an additional “serial booster.”
