[comp.sys.dec] RSX QIO timeout

sackett@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu (Steve Sackett) (11/26/87)

Does anyone know how to get the QIO timeout under RSX11M+ to work.
I am using a PRO 350 with toolkit v2.  I am trying to force a
QIO to the XK0: device to time out.  The manual describes a method
which would be lovely if it worked.  

I need to transfer data from XK0: and the only way I can detect when
the transmission has ended is to time out.  This leaves characters
in a partially filled buffer, but since the QIO never completes
I can't get to them.  Niether the 0 time timeout parameter (ie.
complete imediately) or the values greater than 0 work.  The
QIO just waits forever.

Thanks in advance for any help.
