It's apparently 5.10.77-v7+.
It eventually goes a bit wrong responding to NICE requests with VMS complaining
'invalid management response' but the output showing a '...such file or
directory' but I'll try some troubleshooting tomorrow.
I installed 'latd' (apt install latd), started up with latcp -s and it's
picked up all the LAT services on the LAN, including itself, the RX4640, the KLH10
instance of Panda TOPS-20... looks fine too. Identifies its connections as the hostname
and tty, such as "PI3B3//dev/ttyAMA0"

Glad it?s working for you. Is this running the latest Raspbian release? What kernel
version is it running?
