Opening it up hasn't helped so much yet, I've identified most of the larger chips, those being a z180 cpu, it's memory and storage, and a logic converter. I looked at the uart section of the z180's manual and found little useful information as it is very configurable, it could still be...

Unfortunately I can not. Would it be possible to send raw data to it to see how it reacts to different combinations of data rates, start/stop bits, etc. Also note that I run Debian Linux, so any software will have to be compatible.

@Alabalcho I have confirmed that it is rs-232 compliant and not ttl, but that is enough for tonight. If you have anything else you can tell me I would be glad to hear it.
