Hi Jarl,

As I already write PRS10 is configured as serial communication. With 
oscilloscope I can see serial signals, but when enter this signal in computer 
with TTL level USB2serial converter all information is repeatable character 
unknown for me and not as described in manual. For test i change baud rate, 
number of stop bits, number of bits without success. Also trace signal to U302 
MC68HC11 pin 20 and 21 and both TX and RX are the same as on J100 (external 
connector) - time/period and amplitude has TTL levels. For me looks like 
internal ROM has incorrect bits or processor is not in normal state and 
response from serial port coming from different subroutine. 
I expect hints how to check processor state. Or how to push processor in state 
where will have normal serial communication. 

Best regards
Philip
