Look for your KDJ11 manual**, chapter 3, for ODT. That's
the lanuage thats expected over your serial line (Working?
Congratulatations! BTW).

What does it look like? Numbers, Mnemonics? How many lines?
Also look around for any ROMS not on the SMD,Pertec controllers.
These could contain a bootstrap you can activate. Write down any
information that may be pasted on these ROMs. It's also possible
the controllers' ROMS can start a CPU bootstrap directly too.
In any case, Your supplier, Wayne was a turn-key systems VAR
(value added reseller). I would almost expect your system to be
a turn-key one right now.
Last weekend was a big breakthrough. In less that 24 hours you
amassed a total system that I have spent many weeks over a
period of many years collecting. Wow! Another BTW, these
systems used to be sold for $85,000 each!
