Just a quick update - and a thank you for all the suggestions. In the end I moved to my IBM X60 laptop which, with an ultrabase connected, has a real serial port. I was then able to transfer data at 19200 via minicom using the same cable without issue. So the problem appears to lie with the USB -> Serial Converted. I'm sure this is probably old news for some. I do have other USB -> Serial converters, so may see if any of the others work better under Linux.
In a nod to Retrochallenge I have dug out my EEPROM Programmer and UV eraser and a few 27C256 ROMS. I have an old Dell laptop that will run Windows XP - I'll probably need to use that for programming! Regards, Mark. On 26 May 2015 at 04:00, Shaun M.
