5) 4800
6) 9600 (default value)
7) 19,200 (not exact)

The Rack Smart Brick Brain will show the current

address, baud rate and parity on its display when
it first boots up. 9600 Baud (the default) displays as
a number ‘8’, for consistency with earlier Smart Brick
Brains.

“c” LD Serial Port:

2.00 and later Smart Brick Brains are equipped with a

second serial port. This can be used for route all of the
strings and other LaserDisk and DVD commands, in-
stead of using the main serial port. Either 4800 or 9600
baud can be used for this serial port.

“d” VT-52 Mode:

When this toggle is enabled, the Rack Smart Brick

Brain will use special escape sequences to clear the cur-
rent line (<ESC>ape 'l'), or position the cursor
(<ESC>ape 'Y' ROW COLUMN). When disabled, the
Analog Smart Brick has to redraw the entire screen to
change any value, so it can save a good deal of
screen redraw time if you have a compatible display.

“e” Numbers:

This toggles the Rack Smart Brick Brain between

Decimal and Hexadecimal numbering systems.

“f”

Show Storage:

This toggles the Rack Smart Brick Brain between stor-

ing just a single, or up to 255 early show starts and re-
quests. Early how starts are those which arrive while an-
other show is playing. You can set each show individual-
ly to ‘store’, ignore, or act immediately upon early starts.
