Shouldn't happen. Maybe something is marginal in your system? Or you get
some kind of interference from other cards?

Try the following emulations as well in your term program: Soroc/Apple,
Lear-Siegler ADM-31, Lear-Seagler ADM-3A; and select the same in TP. One
of them should work. The Apple also does some sort of translation of
those codes in certain ways, I'm not quite sure if this applies to the
serial terminal as well, or only to the built-in screen. Could be that
you have to use configio ("mbasic configio.bas" on your CP/M boot disk)
to change the codes your Apple is spitting out.
