Thanks Henk,
I tried that. No prompt comes up with PUTTY on serial set at any baud rate. Instead on
the LED display I get a C, or an S sometimes.

Many thanks. I'll take a quick look online just to see if I can save you the trouble.
I'm surprised at how little documentation there is for this thing.
As a general rule, does anyone know -- if you have a single board computer like this with
serial connector, is that 'live' all the time? Or do you usually have to invoke a
program in order for a terminal to connect to it and use it?

From all the SBCs that I know, the standard serial port
is always active. The on-board monitor with very basic commands uses it as only means of
communication.
After reset the monitor will "print" possible a one-line
identification and on the next line some form of prompt.
Could be * or . or > or - or whatever.
You need to know the com ports settings, but it prints an ID line you can try several
baudrates. 9600 is a good start.
If you want 6800 info, ask. I can dream 6800 opcodes!
INX=$08, LDA # =$86, DEX=$09, STAindexed =$A6. etc.
Depending on the RAM size, I have a StarTrek version in 6800 assembler that uses a serial
port ... IIRC, it is some 1.5k
