- I just upgraded from 2.04 to 2.1, and I am now have problems with the A2232
- board. I have a printer on unit 8, and have set the serial device default
- unit to 8. When I write out to either SER: or PRT: (which goes to the serial
- device), it drops data at the end of whatever is written, as though the program
- gets a premature indication that the I/O operation is complete, closes the
- serial device, and causes the buffer to be flushed. I've also tried
- this with the default serial device going to a modem on a different serial
- port, with the same results. If I set it up so that I have the default serial
- port set to unit 1 (the built-in serial port), it works correctly.
-
- I have the following in the devs: directory:
- Directory "devs:" on Wednesday 30-Dec-92
- oldser.device 5284 ----rw-d 27-Jul-92 09:40:26
- serial.device 7880 ----rw-d 27-Jul-92 09:40:26
- 2 files - 29 blocks used
-
- I do not have any serial devices in my devs:mountlist.
-
- Does anyone know if I have it configured incorrectly or if there's a bug with the
- A2232 serial device?
-
- I also had a commodity that would blank the pointer under 2.04, but causes a
- reset under 2.1. Does anyone know of a replacement, preferably not an all-in-one
- mouse etc commodity?
