Correct. Did you verify that you are running both COM ports at the same
speed? On the MUT it is set by kbd.ini. On the host, it is set with the
debugo settings dialog.

Correct. You are overlaying what IBM calls the retail kernel with the
debug kernel.

I did not tell you to do this. It's just gigo, but should not hurt
anything.

>- rebooted laptop

Correct. And I assume that the system appeared to boot normally, which it
should given the kbd.ini settings we are using.

I suspect your problem is one of two things:

- the port speeds have to match
- the MUT must run COM.SYS

Debugo should not care which COM driver is in use, but unfortunately, this
is not always the case. For example, ICAT will not work with SIO because
ICAT loses input characters even though SIO is more efficient that
COM.SYS. It's just the way it is.

Also, in case it's not obvious. YMMV if you try to run debugo on the MUT
when the debug kernel is loaded.

Regards,

Steven
