System Considerations

9600 baud is the power-up default for serial ports on MVME2603/2604 boards. After power-up you can reconfigure the baud rate if you wish, using the PPCBug PF (Port Format) command via the command line interface. Whatever the baud rate, some type of hardware handshaking — either XON/OFF or via the RTS/CTS line — is desirable if the system supports it.
