When used on the serial interface, the MCB appears to output characters using even parity in spite of the board's jumpers being set to generate no parity. To accomodate that hardware idiosyncrasy. spec opens the port using even parity. If future versions of the MCB generate parity properly according to the jumper settings, the jumpers should be set for even parity to accomodate spec .
