14.3.2 Data Format
Communication with the monitor ROM is in standard non-return-to-zero (NRZ) mark/space data format.
(See Figure 14-2 and Figure 14-3.)
The data transmit and receive rate can be anywhere up to 28.8 kBaud. Transmit and receive baud rates
must be identical.

14.3.3 Echoing
As shown in Figure 14-4, the monitor ROM immediately echoes each received byte back to the PTA0 pin
for error checking.
Any result of a command appears after the echo of the last byte of the command.

14.3.4 Break Signal
A start bit followed by nine low bits is a break signal. (See Figure 14-5). When the monitor receives a break
signal, it drives the PTA0 pin high for the duration of two bits before echoing the break signal.
