The ASR-X has thru-holes on the motherboard for a 10-pin header. It is labeled J70. I theorize that this could be a debug header. I traced each of the pins back to the 68340 CPU, and this is the apparent pinout of the header. Note pins 8 and 10 are serial signals...what baud rate? No one knows yet! Pin Signal Meaning -------------------------- 1 CS3_N Device (debugger) Select (CPU output) 2 IRQ7_N Interrupt (CPU input) 3 RTSB_N Serial port (flow) 4 RxRDY_N Serial port (flow) 5 RTSB_N Serial port (flow) 6 TxRDYA_N Serial port (flow) 7 DACK2_N Device Acknowledge (CPU input) CPU detects debugger presence 8 RxDB Serial port (data in) 9 RTSB_N Serial port (flow) 10 TxDB Serial port (data out) Talking with long-time experts (thanks Al, and Rick of A.S. in MA), I've learned that many embedded 68K systems have debug or diagnostic ports implemented in a similar way. On powerup, the software attempts to read from the debugger by enabling CS3_N. If the debugger is there, it will assert DACK2_N. So in order to use this debugger port, we need two things: 1) to assert DACK2_N by bringing it low on powerup. 2) to connect a DB-9 serial port to the header, and read it from a PC terminal program.
