Hello Manfred,

regarding the off-board memory Ole Hansen already gave you some good hints. The
VMEchip needs some registers initialized, before you can access the VMEbus
safely. The OS-9 debugger does that automatically for you, but apparently not
the Mototrola Rombug.

For the serial ports, I also tried to use higher baud rates. I found out, that
with OS-9 version 2.4 the device driver is not able to use a higher baud rate
than 19200, although the chips are specified to go up to a speed of 38.4kbaud.
I think with OS-9 3.0 this is fixed, but I'm not sure, I never tried it. Ole is
right, that it doesn't make much sense to use more than 9600 baud on the
console (/term) port, because the debugger uses that baudrate as default, and
it's not easy to change that. But it makes some sense to use a higher baud rate
on serial port 2 (/t1), especially if you use it to download files.

Regards,

Jost
