[comp.sys.amiga] HELP ME --- SER: and Assembler

jlehmann@wpi.WPI.EDU (Jonas A. Lehmann) (11/02/90)

I am in bad need of checking the serial port in assembler and if a 
character is present to quickly read it. I dont want to lock up waiting
for characters through the serial port.

I know that for console (CON:) I can (dos.lib) Read() and Write()
and do a WaitForCh() to check for Characters within a time range.
I can also do (dos.lib) Write() on SER: but not a Read()?!

Also funny ... I can do a CLI: copy Filename SER: but not
a copy SER: Filename ...


can someone help me ........ thanks .........
