The crystal swap for the KL8E would be a 5.0688MHz... might that be
it?  In any case, AFAIK, besides a crystal swap, the only think you
might check is how many stop bits it's strapped for.  With 110 bps, it
might be set up to work with an ASR-33 which wants 2.  Terminals,
being non-mechanical, are happy with 2 or 1.
