Yes, 5 VDC and plus and minus 12 VDC. The -12 is
only used for a comm
port I think. The + 12 is used for the comm port and the printer. You CAN
run it without the plus and minus 12 VDC but you'll lose the comm port and
printer. You MUST have the 5 VDC.
Exact, the 12V are also needed for the TTY.

I don't know. Maybe it uses the keyboard connector or the expansion
connector. You should be able to trace the KB-TTY switch out if nothing
else. BTW some of my boards don't have the switch. The traces are there and
there's a jumper soldered between two of them.

Mine say "J1 Application" and "J3
Expansion". The keybaord connects to
"J4". "J2" connects to the printer. I don't know where the comm
port is.
Have you looked at the stuff on Rich's web site yet. The manuals there
should tell where it is and how to use it.
J1 Application == 'user' port, including the com line and the TTY line
J3 Expansion == system bus
