Well it looks like I won't get this finished now (grr!). But let me
correct the info David sent. It's sending either "A1" or "AJ" not
"A1AJ" (all at once). The end outcome is that "A1" and "AJ" are
being sent but the interface only gets one at a time. I looked at
the CM11A & CM17A interfaces. I wonder how the CM15A interface works
because it thinks it sending "A1J" (???). I've also looked at many
other interfaces and most seem to be just sending data to the
device. More work to follow.
