One area where
people get burnt with TU58 (real) is that when it sends
data the receiving system better be able to keep up for the whole packet!
That sometimes means the data rate must be lowered from 38,400 to
whatever works for the system in question. For example PDP-11/44s
had problems using the console port at more than 9600!
My read issues did turn out to be what appears to have been sending
too fast. I added a few strategic delays and that seems to have taken
care of things. Last weekend, I also got the writes sorted out. So
my little 11/2 with an MXV-11 in a BA-11VA case can once again boot
RT-11. It's even managed to tickle a few very old brain cells that
stored some of the teco I used to know. :) There's a part of me that
can't resist trying out a sysgen to see just how painful it'll be.
