Hey Steve,

Just thought I would drop a note in here to tell you that you are not alone
with the serial wierdies.  I noticed the 'one off' problem on both /t0 and /t1.
I also can lock up every thing by trying to access any floppy drive when there
is a shell running on /t1.  My solution (after I got the tech manual and found
out how to do it was to reconfigure the paddle board (I only have one) to use
/t3 (unplugged /t1 and made a little cable).  I figure I'll ignore /t1 until
somebody smarter than me fixes it.  For the (old) /t0 lockup problem (it gets
hung up if it sees something at the wrong baud rate), I have a little program
called 'guardian' that was uploaded to DELPHI by Randy Wilson.  It watches for
an error in the on-board 68070 serial port and resets it.

Watching this thread with interest.
