   I just spent 20 minutes buzzing out the pinout of a 4-port serial card... input, input, output, output, ground... oh hello, that's a PC DB9 serial port, mapped 1:1 onto a DC37. Four ports, one after the other. Awful nice of them to make it easy.

     @philpem octopus serial boards are such a pain when you don't have the cable!

     @foone the REALLY good news is I just found a copy of the instruction manual for sale on ebay, and it's going to be scanned. At the very least it'll be on my website and I'll chuck it on the Retroweb discord too for them to include in the next update.

     @foone yeah! I'm just lucky it was easy to figure out, and the card wasn't expensive either. There's also a tantalising note on Quickpath's old website about "custom address decoding available on request" - so you can bet I'll be figuring out how to do that too.
