OK, that's TWO.
The rest of us are still struggling with our ignorance.


Your explanation of baud-rate and bit numbere/parity was excellent, and 
would have really helpe me 37 years ago.
But, it would not have solved the hassles that I had then with 
determining partial handshake connections, nor trying to connect an 
external serial Votrax to a TRS80 Model2.  It wanted a connection on pin 
22 (ring indicator)!  I did it for the Radio Shack Computer Store, in 
their store.  In return for which, they gave me a copy of the Model2 
Technical Reference.  Yes, I hung onto "Technical Reference" books even 
for machines that I did not own.   I had access to more information than 
I understood.
