IIRC pressing 9 does not switch the LEDs from ONLINE to LOCAL as the doc says it should.
We should try exiting setup at that point to see if we get local echo regardless (the
hardware is at Rob's place at the moment so I can't check immediately.)
Also IIRC, after pressing 2, "SETUP" disappears as it should, however there is
no boot message, but CTL-SETUP does get us back to SETUP mode.
The reason I want to check the keyboard communication/scanning is because is because in
addition to the above where some keys seem to do what is expected while others don't,
3 keys out of all of them (?, M & SPACE) do not produce keyclicks.
Pressing 2 & 3 do something, 2 causes the system to go away - presumably
looking for the disks; 3 causes a flashing cursor/underbar across the
screen - presumably the 'print screen' scan,
other operations don't work.
I take it 9 to enter local then the setup key to exit setup where you
then get local echo of keys on the CRT doesn't work.
