Thanks for reply CC.
One thing is that it won't start by connecting DSR to DTR, but will start with 9V (from a small battery) connected to DSR via a remote switch. (I found that getting it to start by connecting DSR to DTR is dependant on how the DTR interface is configured).
OOPS! That was my error! I didn't take enough attention to note that it was from RTS to DSR. I'll try it and dispense with the battery (it is a momentary closure btw).
Something else I would find useful is a PAUSE function acting over all timers.
I've just noticed that the countdown is too fast, gaining 7 seconds over a ten minute period. I wondered why my sums weren't working out! Could the 286 internal clock be running too fast? Not much of an expert in these areas I'm afraid.
