Sorry if I wasn't entirely clear...I do get the countdown from the console, and
I can do all the built-in tests.  I can enter the 'b/3 mua0' command and the
console starts to load from the tape.  So I think the console is happy with
the serial cable I made...my problem is that I do not get any output after the
boot from tape...
