Does anybody out there know how to buffer serial input on a PC (or 100% compatible)?? The application is receiving frame numbers etc. from a video disc player. I can initialise the port and send data to the player using the Microsoft C int86() routine to call int 14h, but using the same method to receive characters is unreliable, apparently because they are not buffered. I don't always have time to read all comp.sys.ibm.* news, so apologies if this has been covered before. Please mail any answers, I will summarise to the net. Thanks!
