RE: 8251 troubles

Hi
 I could send to the video. It is a Poly88. I've been
working
on getting my images transferred. I thought the serial
would be easy. Ha ha ha.
 I don't have another chip handy but can get one tomorrow.
I can alway send directly to video RAM. That is similar to
the
led port.
Thanks for the sanity check.
Dwight
