Ah, can we asume you have captured the signal with a digital oscilloscope so you can guess the baud rate from the size of the pulses? Or did you use a different setup?

Also, where you able to count how long the whole series was?

15 - signal on this line (see below)
16 - held to ground

18 - High impedance, either an input or N/C


The only interesting pin was 15. This is nominally high (3.5v), but emits a start bit followed series of 16 data bits at approximately 9600 baud whenever a key is pressed or released. As far as I can tell, no other data (like a console) is present on this pin.


Sometime soon I'll take the thing apart and have a poke around inside for anything that might be a console.
