Mine worked like any asynchronous serial interface. Plain RS-232.

    Sounds like there's a magic switch somewhere ...   Now to find it.

Either that, or the port is broken. I seem to remember mine breaking a
couple of times, and me repairing it. But any further details have been
forgotten. I only remember that it wasn't hard to figure out or fix.
I assume you have tried shorting pin 2&3 of the serial port, and nothing
happens when you type...?

Open it up. There is a large board at the bottom which if I remember
right, is pretty much all of it.

Oh, I should mention - I don't remember there being more than one rotary switch for speed selection, but check to make sure there isn't a separate for Tx and Rx, and them being set differently for split speed...
