Well . . . after another few more hours of
exploration :
The M8059 YA card wasn't that at all. It is actually an M8639 YA.
I need glasses . . and stronger light.
Anyway, Control C doesn't work and I can no longer repeat getting to an @
prompt, instead getting a lot of backward ? characters at times.
I'm now using the console port but have lost confidence in the terminal and
serial cable completely. I discovered the baud setting control for the ports
after I blew the dust out of the little window. Set the port to 4800 baud,
the default setting on the VT220. All for no consistent result. Tried 110
baud on both with no result
Try 9600 baud no parity 7 bit... Try 1200 baud no parity 7 bit.
