Here is what the quick basic program had:
OPEN "COM1:9600,N,8,1,LF" FOR RANDOM AS #1
PRINT #1, "TS0"
PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1B) + "T";
PRINT #1, "FM0,01,20"
LINE INPUT #1, D$
The problem may be a simple port setting. If you have the

so from the original program that worked (on a DOS 5 machine!) the baud
is 9600, No parity, data bits is 8, 1 stop bit. The LF is assumed to be
the terminator.
I use the serial port init for the open line leaving terminator unwired.
Then I use visa write and send using \ codes:
TSO\r\n\1BTFM0,01,20\r\n
read just times out 😞
Tried leaving out \r but no luck. even tried without \n but no luck.
BTW, model number is RD3750 (which google and the others return nothing
on. Omega site has nothing on this old sucker).
BTW also, I have two of these in the set up and neither is playing yet.

Anything else you could remember pass it on.
