We are four People here in Zurich who bought an Amiga:
Rene Degen (ethz!degen) Amiga 512K + Monitor 1080
Claudio Maranta Amiga 256K
Claudio Nieder (ethz!claudio) Amiga 512K + Disk Drive
(BITNET:K538912@CZHRZU1A)
Markus Schaub (ethz!schaub) Amiga 512K + Monitor 1080
We got the 'normal' System with ABasiC, and only the 'standard' Manuals
"Introduction to the Amiga" & "ABasiC Manual".
Since we've got no possibility to get any other Manuals we would be
happy to get some help through the net.
The first Problem comes from Claudio Nieder:
I'd like to do Packet-Radio with my Amiga. I have a TAPR-TNC, and should
have a terminal program for my Amiga. I tried to write a simple program
in BASIC, but I encountered several difficulties:
1. I tried OPEN "I",1,"SER:" and OPEN "O",2,"SER:". This works well for
output, but the GET #1,K$ didn't work like the normal GET from a
keyboard. It hanged until 128 characters came in through the serial
port. I didn't find out how this buffering can be disabled or whether
it is possible at all.
2. I tried POKEing and PEEKing around, trying to find the serial port.
The only thing I found, was that the data comes in through &HC00019
and that status is at &HC00018. I didn't find, how to send data or
how to setup the port for the correct baudrate...
It would be nice if anybody could help us.
