[comp.lang.scheme] PC-Scheme serial I/O

b3076906@scheme.cs.ubc.ca (adrian michael boyko) (12/08/90)

I'm hoping for some help with PC-Scheme serial I/O.  I'm having no
trouble with output, but I'm getting results I don't understand when I
use an input-port defined with (define modem-in (open-input-file "com1")).
For example, (read-line modem-in) will often give me an undocumented "[VM
ERROR encountered!] 196".  (char-ready? modem-in) will often go away for
several minutes before returning #\.

The hardware is fine.  Any comments welcome via email.
