I have the same setup which after some playing with the configuration,
worked fine.
My problem is that little pigtail db-9 to PS@: It broke (open wire at the
strain relief) and I replaced it with a single db-9 to PS2 adapter (no pigtail)
and got no response. Tried again with a second brand with same lack
of response. Is there something unique about the TP750 pinout?
