What? You worked only a few weeks? :-)
Don't have docs, however it's a pretty accurate
VT-100 clone, and almost
everything from the VT-100 manual is exactly right. However, it has an
AUX port which the VT-100 doesn't ... I can set set TX and RX speed with
SETUP-B '7' and '8', however ASPD shows at 50 and I can't find
anything
to budge it...
Anyone know how to set the Aux port speed on a DT/80 ?
Are there any settings for Aux port data bits, parity, flow-control etc.?
It's most likely a Printer port.
If it's a good DEC emulation, this might help.
From the VT102 manual (which had VT100 Advanced Video and printer port
built in):
"In Setup B, the arrow keys and SHIFT select either the modem [normal
computer port] or the printer [aux] interface features. When you hold down
SHIFT, <LEFT ARROW> selects modem features, <RIGHT ARROW> selects printer
features."
So, in Setup B, <SHIFT><RIGHT ARROW> should select the printer features.
<CTRL><KEYPAD ENTER> toggles AutoPrint (line at at time).
<SHIFT><KEYPAD ENTER> does a print screen.
<KEYPAD ENTER> is supposedly the "Print" key.
