Dave, on your web page you mention "Each board has an AY-3-1015D UART on board
suggesting that the console serial port is built into the CPU". If you feel
like tracing the interface connections from the UART (probably thru some 1488/9
drivers), the datasheet for the 3-1015 is here:
  http://www.datasheets.org.uk/pdf/761571.pdf

It's a pin-config'd UART, so the config may also be discernible from examination.
