Altair serial port update

[Richard A. Cini]

All:

	Word to the wise -- always check the cabling. I've been wracking
my brain this week on the serial port problems with my Altair. I wired
the serial board cable per the manual but I never checked if it was NULL
or not. Well, when I put a null adapter on the cable, it worked! Whoo,
hoo.

	So with the board configured as an Altair Revision 1 SIO board
(ports 0/1), I toggled in the standard tape loader set for 8k BASIC. I
used Terra Term Pro to send the file at 1200 baud. I saw the data echoed
to the screen but no joy. I never get the "MEMORY SIZE?" prompt, even
after fiddling with the sense switches.

	I hate to be a pest, but is there something I'm missing?
