Hi Graham, please see my suggestion in #33.

Without correct configuration, each end cannot handshake with each other, as both need be the same.

I suspect 6 data bits may have been used.
Possibly also XON/XOFF

If you can locate another user of the Machine, they should be able to advise on configuring etc., or if you have the original boot disk it should be possible to ascertain from there.

The correct Driver(s) are necessary whatever version of the os is being used.

Regards - Mike
