Yes, I noticed from the data stream that the 'old' Southern Electric
one doesn't have the software version stuff either and does run at
2400 rather than 9600.=20=20

However, last night I saw that they were again selling the newer
displays only for =A315 on ebay so I 'had' to buy one of them - just
waiting for delivery.  So rather than taking you up on the kind offer
to change your app, I hope the new one will be directly compatible.=20=20

I suggest I do a direct test with the new one as soon as it arrives
and we take it from there.  Is that ok?

Regards

Richard
