The BLIT is not the dmd 5620.  The BLIT had a 68000 in it.  The 5620 has
a rotten Weeeee32000 in it.  BLIT by the way, is not an acronym but a way
of pronouncing the name of the bitblt algorithm that it uses.  The only
official assignment of words to the letters that I've heard of is the
Bacon Lettuce and Interactive Tomato.

From the above, it is obvious that you are you have an old firmware
5620 which you are not running in windows mode.  The thing is pointless
if you aren't going to run it with the fancy software.  It's just a green
70 line vt100 otherwise.  Even in stand alone mode, the ^s/^q mangling is
a resultg of you not wiring all the signals on your RS-232 cable (or at
least jumpering them appropriately if you insist on using three wire
rs-232 cables).
