OK, that's TWO.
The rest of us are still struggling with our ignorance.
Your explanation of baud-rate and bit numbere/parity was excellent, and
would have really helpe me 37 years ago.
But, it would not have solved the hassles that I had then with
determining partial handshake connections, nor trying to connect an
external serial Votrax to a TRS80 Model2. It wanted a connection on pin
22 (ring indicator)! I did it for the Radio Shack Computer Store, in
their store. In return for which, they gave me a copy of the Model2
Technical Reference. Yes, I hung onto "Technical Reference" books even
for machines that I did not own. I had access to more information than
I understood.
