For each of: Microsoft AMIGABASIC, ASSEMBLER, Lattice C.
How does one accomplish the following:
1) Set the serial port to:baud rate=1200, parity=even, 7 data bits,
1 start bit, 1 stop bit. I.e. send a total of 10 bits/char.
OPEN "com1:1200,e,7,1" ... in BASIC is not sending even parity.
2) Send a true break signal out the serial port.
I.e send a spaces signal for a user settable duration of
x milliseconds. x is usually approximately 300, but may
vary somewhat for different computers/timesharing sevices.
3) Stop the serial driver from automatically sending out a series
of presumably ^Ss if the receive buffer gets full.
Note: Perhaps this only happens in BASIC.
4) Pass a DC1 received from the remote device/computer into
the BASIC program. For that matter I wish to be able to get
all characters coming into com1: into my program.
Since others may find the answers usefull, I suggest that all
replies be posted to the net.
Don't you just feel a sense of accomplishment if you can get
your Amiga to do something. With an IBM it's much less fun.
It doesn't fight back.
