Are you sure it wasn't ADT_2006?  That's the version with the IIgs
code.  Can you check that?  If it works with ADT_2006 over your IIgs
serial port, then we have something substantial to debug with.

There aren't any different cabling needs for ADTPro than there are for
ADT, so that shouldn't be the problem.

There is definitely a problem with ADTPro and hardware handshaking,
but that shows up on IIc computers, not the IIgs.  That fix is backed
up behind another planned enhancement.

Those were my two primary development platforms, so not here. :-/
