I have two of those manuals, and are slightly different to each other.
Together they have several different issue numbers for the various different
chapters. In general the main parts are from 1987 and 1998.

There is a line or two about the serial interface, but that's all. Do you
have anything more specific on the terminal commands for this interface?

Server programme.


Have you already visited 'EEA'?

You'll find some details there about this beauty.
