To all those who mentioned STAT FILTER OFF, I have been running this way since day ONE. STAT FILTER OFF controls the passage of data values from 0 to 1F hex. I have no problem with those. Values from 80 to FF hex are the problem. They come through with the 8th bit reset. In other words, ANDed with 7F hex. I have comfirmed, using a very simple dumb terminal program, that neither BDOS nor BIOS interferes with 8Bit (0 - FF hex) data. There are 20 some AND 7F instructions in Mex. Without source it's pot luck but I will try the hard way to determine which AND 7F is the culprit. Thanks again to all who responded. I will post results when they are available.
