Hi, This page seems to cover the normal cases. Thanks for pointing it out. Note that (normally) very shortly after you turn on the system you should get messages down the serial port. If you see those messages then you can feel good that everything should work. Also the serial port is only used if the keyboard is unplugged. Finally, figure out with your terminal program what the command to send break is. There should be some special way of doing this. You'll need it :-) Break on a serial terminal is the same as L1 A on the keyboard. cheers bruce On Tue, Aug 09, 2005 at 07:48:18PM -0500, Brett D.
