Royaltek REB12 and BAE Superstar to 2P

Archiver

I am trying to interface either or both of these OEM boards to the
2P. These boards are similar 12 channel boards with a similar pin-
out, with a default 1 per second output of a long proprietary binary
data message at 9600N81. The boards put out TTL level RS232.

My project requires NMEA $GGA and $RMC data to be read and stored in
the 2P's scratchpad RAM. I noted the excellent way posted earler on
how to do this with spstr.

I cannot get either board reprogrammed to change to NMEA at 9600 or
4800 baud. I have used the appropriate command with the correct
checksum.

The Mfgr's have not been much help in this. Has anyone been able to
do this? Any advice?

Thanks,
Jim Ross
