- WRITEN BY Arno A. Karner, August 1986.
-
- I want to thank Bob Murphy for is initial program which saved me a lot of
- typing. But his program lacked the flow control I needed, and only suported
- COM1 and COM2. This program has the following features
-
- 1) Interupt driven input and output
- 2) Selectable flow control Xon\Xofff, RTS\CTS, DTR\DCD
- 3) Flow control points are ajustable
- 4) 512 byte input and output buffers
- 5) Supports COM1 and COM2
- 6) BIOS compatable commands + very useful extentions
- 7) User selectable time outs
-
- There are a few diffrences in what the bits mean in the status word returned.
- These diffences are documented in the turbo pascal support routines supplied
- with this program. If you find this program to be of value to you a small
- donation to futher my college education will be appreciated. Or if you would
- like the full blown interupt driver that supports COM1 thru COM9 with all the
- above listed features. Send $30 to

- Most programs out today do not support COM3 thru COM9 these programs must
- be patched in order to use the higher serial ports.
-
- The only problems I have encountered is when using super key and holding a
- key down for some reason borlands product disables interupts long enough
- for the 8250's receive buffer to overflow. This problem did not exist
- without super key loaded or when keys were not allowed to auto repeat.
