I saw 7 bit mark and 7 even back in my old Field Service days in the 80s...

Start with just 7 bits no parity. Try both one and two stop bits. Then move on from there.
7 bits no parity is something I ve never seen. I would start with 8 bits no parity, one stop bit unless it s 110 bps. 7 bits with parity, that does come up on a few occasions. But while I ve seen 8 and 5 and even 6 bit serial comms used, I can t think of any 7 bits in the wild.

Hello!
I remember watching a VAX system at work, suffice to say the operator
promptly did something along the lines of what you did Robert, and the
machine complained about not having any bananas (Along the lines of
that song.)

Looks like Fred is right!

Yeah, that s what I remember. You stand it up on its side and there are plastic covers for the top and bottom (which are now the sides) as well as some kind of feet for the bottom (which used to be the side). Without the bottom part it won t sit correctly on its side because the front hangs over (that s the part where the rack rails would have been).
Bob
Is there such a thing as a floor stand? IIRC there are side covers for the cabinet. You can turn the cd cd bay 90 degrees and put the cabinet on its narrow side. Which is how I use my Ds20E, sans covers and front though. The Ds25 has a front, same applies I think.

Onderwerp: [HECnet] Floor stand for DS20E
This reminds me does anyone know of a floor stand/case for the DS20E? I ve got a rack mount unit (it s a really nice system, actually) but no rack to put it in.
Thanks,
Bob

Yeah. Looks like the unworldly SCSI a cables bent bus pins though. Didn't notice until a bit later.

So serial is working completely correctly now?

Sorry for wearing you out :D
I'm probably just expecting things at a level you don't see anymore.
nope, serial is to low level :)

Data ground path routed through a poorly-plugged-in power supply? Definitely a ground problem somewhere!
