Nope, I don't have it, but for some reason I do have the two 25 pin
COM ports - utterly useless!

I ran across a blurb in the service manual than mentions it uses a
2400 (IIRC) baud serial interface. My plan *was* to use a COM port on
a PC to emulate the keyboard (there was also a table listing the
key mapping), but there is little point if it won't get me anywhere.

Sigh, thanks for your help. Looks like its back to the 9010 for me :-(
