Some documentation about TOS 1.4 says: Rsconf(-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1) does return the old values of USART registers. (That was true for all TOS versions, but wasn't documented) Rsconf(-2,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1) does return the old value for the baud rate. (That is only true for TOS 1.4) Does this mean that you can inquire all settings of the RS232 except the setting of the handshake? I think, it would be nice, if we could inquire the handshake settings. Any comments? Maybe somebody at Atari?

Sorry. I regret that so much of TOS is done piecemeal, and I regret further having contributed to that, but that's the way it is sometimes. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt
