Phil what exactly isn't working for you?

T2 is working fine for me in Nitros9. Here is the device descriptor code:
https://github.com/nitros9project/nitros9/blob/main/level1/modules/t2_sc6551.asm
Its set up for $FF68 (which is the correct deluxe rs232 pak memory 
address) and uses the standard 6551 scf driver,
found at 
https://github.com/nitros9project/nitros9/blob/main/level1/modules/sc6551.asm, 
which looks like is hasn't changed since 2004.
Maybe you don't have the sc6551 and t2 modules in your bootfile?

Thanks,

Don
