Hello all
I have been recently asked to find a board/system/whatever that will be able
to handle data input (from a device as yet undisclosed to me) at a speed on the
order of 512 bytes every 10 milliseconds. I have heard rumours of a maximum
speed for the serial ports and was wondering if I was going to need either a
special board or special buffer-handling routines in order to accept this data.
Since I cannot test the machine yet, I thought I would field the question here.Also, this is being run on a 10Mhz clone, does that pose a problem?
As far as the application goes, I doubt it will be very intensive or require
the CPU's attention that much. I envision just a dump to disk at this point.
Feel free to E-mail responses and I will summarize the findings.
Thanks for any info
Dan
P.S.
Does anyone know of a PD/SW or even cheap CW that will allow me to use two
machines from 1 keyboard? Ideally, it would only use one screen but if it takes
two, so be it. Some form of hot-key would be most preferable. again, Thanks.
