  No I don't.  First off make sure the
"tty" is configured correctly.  Real
 TTYs are wired with keyboard bit 7 high and all 8 reader bits active.
 This is hard to duplicate with terminal programs. 
For now, I'm using a VT220 as an output-only device.  I haven't gotten as

   I'd still
love to hear why a KK8A isn't happy with the -8/e frontpanel... 
 They are not compatable at the control level not the bus level.  The KK8a
 was not designed with a "peripheral" reaching into it's registers and data
 paths.  I'd bet if the kk8a runs in the 8e box the FP can display but only
 limited things. 
That sounds like a reasonable explaination, but how, then, does the DKC8AA
"reach into" the KK8A to implement _its_ frontpanel?  I would have thought
that the OMNIBUS is the OMNIBUS is the OMNIBUS.

Thanks,
