I use a TVI 925 with mine. I suppose it's possible to set it up for
something else, and perhaps that's what's happened.
I think my TVI is set for n-8-1. When you say no cables or conntectors, do
you mean for the internal HDD, or do you mean you have two HDC's?
What software is it you think you're missing?

Subject: Televideo TS-806/20
Hello,
Can anyone help me with Televideo TS-806/20 information? In particular
some info on a terminal emulation that will work with it. Currently, I get
garbage with it hooked up to my pc (using pcAnywhere emulation of Televideo
912, 920, 925, ANSI, or X3270/Televideo). The garbage is alway the same
each boot. Also info on parity, data bits, stops would be handy. It's a
1981 Z80 based system with a 5 1/4 DS?D Floppy and MFM hard drive. It also
has 6 user, centronics printer, serial, winch (data), winch (control) ports
(no cables or connectors for the last 2 but there is a board). I don't
have the manuals or any software for it.
T.H.x.

I don't have the cables for the winch (control) or winch (data) ports
although I have a board for them...they aren't important, I just thought
I'd mention that. I don't have a (working) terminal right now, so I tried
it with my pc (via serial port & pcAnywhere emulation of TVI 925 @ 75 to
1200 baud settings, n&e&o parity, 4 - 8 data, and 1 stop). With any of the
settings, I get garbage on the screen. I would like to get it to work with
my pc. Any help in those settings in particular would be great. I noticed
8 dip switches on the main board. Do you know what they are for?
T.H.x.

The 8-position DIP switch sets Baud-rate for the 'service-processor'
Terminal port. Switches 1-4 set that value per the following table.
Switches 5-7 are unused and switch 8 is reserved for diagnostics. I find
no mention of parity or the number of bits. I would assume None and
8-bits, though.
Dipswitch
No. Baud Rate
1 2 3 4 (Bits per second)
------------------------------------------------------------------
0 0 0 0 19,200

1 0 1 0 600
0 1 1 0 300
1 1 1 0 150
0 0 0 1 75
Factory setting was for 9600 Baud.
Baud-rates for the user ports are set by software.

One item that I forgot. The rear panel connectors for Winch(Control) and
Winch(Data) are for an external (second) hard drive. There should be an
internal 20mb drive - hopefully functional.
