Only fools and masochists program in assembler.  There isn't much difference
between d0 and d2, is there?  I put a bug in when I added the variable buffer
size code at the last minute.

The biggest problem is that now it usually doesn't crash on an iniz of t1, but
sometimes it does.  And sometimes it crashes just running the debugger.
Arrgghh....  So if you are in a patchy mood, change $30 to $32 at $78 in
sc68901 and tell me if it helps.  If you aren't feeling patchy, perhaps some
other kind lurker who has discovered this trouble can try it.  Then we get to
the next problem - I don't have anything to connect to try out the port. 
Perhaps you can speak to Mark and see if he can help us here.

I've waded the posts
 on the problems and I think the summary is this:
 1) With a terminal on t0, running sterm or kermit to t3 hangs the machine
 2) t1 or t2 gets off by one, but not t0, t3, or t4
 3) any activity on the floppy can hang the machine if t1 is inized, or
    even iniz of t1 may hang the machine. Is this the complete list of what I
am chasing gang?

The problem I found may help 2 and 3 but won't impact 1.

Carl
