A few years ago I entered the schematics and laid out a design for the 
serial board option for the TRS-80 PT-210 printing terminal using gEDA. 
I found the schematics in a hardcopy of the service manual[1].  I 
revisited the project a couple of days ago and reentered the schematics 
into Kicad.  I remembered that the reason I never made the board was that 
I was unsure of its correctness.  The schematics and foil patterns 
contradict slightly and a couple wires seem to be missing from the 
schematic.
Does anyone here have a PT-210 with a working serial board?  I would like 
to work with you to beep out various points so I can figure out what's 
wrong.
I also found a Youtube video showing a PT-210 with the serial board in 
action.  See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPxpzcFXh-0
