Then repeat .... Then repeat... I just connected up a VT-100 terminal to my work 2000 last week. Normally this requires a null modem cable(pins 2&3 reversed, plus 2 handshakes swapped if used). It works just fine and is handy for messing around with copper lists. When performing this type of activity, one wrong poke and your screen can go kerflooey. This way you still have the terminal available to see what you are doing. Also I believe you can invoke a mnemonic debugger by starting up workbench with the debug option. However I can't swear by it since I ain't tried it in years. Sorry, but I can't help you with your particular terminal - good luck!
