I am back in front of the machine:
The M7856 is set thusly:
??? 1? 2? 3? 4? 5? 6? 7? 8? 9 10
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
S5 DN DN DN UP DN DN UP DN DN UP
S3 DN DN UP DN UP UP DN UP DN UP
S1 UP UP DN UP DN DN UP UP DN UP
S4 UP UP DN DN UP UP DN DN DN UP
S2 DN DN UP DN DN UP DN DN -- --
The M9312 is set thusly:
??? 1? 2? 3? 4? 5? 6? 7? 8? 9 10
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
S1 UP UP DN DN DN DN UP DN DN DN
This should be 300, 8, Odd, 1
I have what I think is null modem between the M7856 cable and a PC
running XP with Hyperterm set to 300, 8,O,1
Troubleshooting from the programmers console:
CNTRL plus HALT, no bus hang.
CLR, 777566, LAD, 101, DEP, Hyperterm shows: A
CLR, 777566, LAD, 102, DEP, Hyperterm shows: AB (the B popped up next to
the previous A )
CLR, 777564, LAD, EXAM, display shows: 000200
CLR, 773024, LAD, EXAM, display shows: 165024
CLR, 773024, LAD, EXAM, display shows: 165024
CLR, 773000, LAD, CNTRL plus START, console says: 173002
I am thinking that the Hyperterm should be seeing an "@" and I should be
able to boot from there.
Any thoughts?
Sincerely,

Jumping over the settings. They seem OK, as you get the AB in Hyperterm.
That 777564 shows 000200 is also correct (as I remember that): it indicates ?transmit
buffer empty?.
You can also try it the other way:
* type one character in Hyperterm
* check that 777560 has the receiver buffer full flag set (000200)
* in 777562 you will see the typed character (in octal)
773024 showing 165024 rings a bell. IIRC, 165024 is the start address of the monitor on
the M9312.
That is the PROM ?in the middle? on the board.
I think that if you enter CLR, 165024 LAD, CTRL/START you will get the ?@?.
BTW, there is a second start address. One does some diagnostics, the other does not.
My guess that on 773000 and you getting 773002 on the display means that you try to boot
from a ?device? that is specified in one of the four
PROMs, but the PROM socket is empty ?

I have bi-directional communication from PC/Hyperterminal.?? I forgot
about having to tell HyperTerminal to echo characters locally. Anyway,
'a' comes over as 000141 and 'A' comes over as 000101. So far so good.

I am much confused as to how to connect TP1, TP2, TP3, & TP4.
there is a wire coming in with spade lugs. One wire is red, one clear, and one black.
Just to be share which color goes to which TP lug?

According to the documentation EK-M9312-TM-002 M9312 Bootstrap-Terminator Module Technical
Manual
there are two addresses to use for the Console Emulator.
165020 (765020) for Console with Diagnostics SW 1 and 7 on
165144 (765144) for Console w/o Diagnostics SW 1,5,6,9 on
The switch settings below correspond to xxx004.. which is probably the first drive for the
ROM in position 1 and does
not invoke diagnostics.
Have you tried 173000 (773000)?
