No, the keyboard will always generate a CR (CTRL-M, 0x0d) when the return/enter/whatever key is pressed.  Unix/Linux line discipline translates it into an LF (if, IIRC, ICRNL is set). 

The semantics for stty change from Unix to Unix, but a CR is always decimal 13, a line feed is always decimal 10.  Check "man ascii".

As I said in another message, I'm not particularly surprised, though - the board is over 30 years old, it was sitting in a junk pile, and some of the parts could easily be bad (2114 RAM chips aren't known for their reliability, for instance).
