A theory (can someone confirm?)...

I'm assuming you're using a fairly recent version of Apple Kermit, no?

The later ones required a switch be set on the Super Serial Card to enable
interrupts (not the default or a normal state). Otherwise it does not work.
(This is why Kermit does not work with some/all of the emulators.)

I presume that the Laser does not emulate the interrupt mode of the SSC.
 
Is this correct? Any workarounds? (I had hoped to try this myself as soon
as I get a cable...)
