[GreenKeys] Heavy Metal

[pdwills@voicenet.com]

Gil,

I sent a note of apology to the list.  Usually, my name would appear on the
address header but, with the new email program, I have to send my emal from
a different account while I'm "hard at work" in the office.

Bill Buzbee has been in contact so hopefully we'll find something.
Everything about HM works including an echo when TD and RD are jumpered.  I
see *no* LED activity on the breakout box which makes me think that the
charactors are being sent spaced out but extremely fast.  Removing the
jumper does remove the echo.  (Yes, I did remember to turn off the local
echo.)

The port speed I'm trying for is 45.5 baud (60WPM).  RTTYArt works fine TX
and RX.

The interface is derived from yours but with the addition of some TTL
switching logic to allow me to select the TTL output from my IMSAI CP/M
machine and a future connection to the TTL I/O of a Flesher TU.

Thanks for the help (and the interface ideas!)

Paul Wills
