Here are a couple things to try.  After you type IN#2 on the Apple II
try entering one or more of the following commands.  If the Super
Serial Card is in printer mode precede each command with CTRL-I
otherwise precede each command with CTRL-A.

     Command  Comment
     -------  -------------------------------------------------
        ME    Mask line feed Enable-removes incoming line feeds
        0T    Translate lower case letters to upper case
         Z    Zap control characters

For example, to remove all the line feeds that the PC will most likely
be sending, type CTRL-A followed by ME and then press return.

Be careful with that last one as you won't be able to type any
commands after you do it because it will zap the CTRL-I or CTRL-A that
you use to do the command.
