You may have to drop both CTS and DSR to hold off the Amiga. In addition, you may want to try a smaller serial buffer (settable in Prefs), although it does appear that both the write-data-to-buffer and write-from-buffer-to- serial-port portions of the serial.device do the line check if RTS/CTS handshaking is enabled. Also, make sure you are using Release 1.2 WorkBench (33.47). The 1.1 serial.device did not do hardware handshaking. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I was just told that dropping DSR does more than keep the Amiga from writing - it means the receiver has gone away and causes a io error. So apparently, DSR should always be held the same. Are you sure you're not changing DSR when the IBM is not ready ? -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CBM >>Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,caip,ihnp4,seismo}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
