This sounds promising.  I'm surprized you did not have to connect pins 1
and 5 from the //c side.  BTW, was the clone a LASER 128? If memory
serves me correctly, I was able to get a LASER 128 ex/2 to talk to my
//c, so it must have the same funny hardware handshaking (which occurs
on pins one and five... curious.)

Is it possible for me to legally get a free/shareware copy of Telix?

Thanks,
