On March 17 I posted some questions here hoping that some kind GURU would provide me and other readers of this newsgroup, with informative answers. I felt that for sure, all else failing, I would get an answer from someone at Commodore. However since I haven't heard anything yet, I must conclude that my posting must have got lost. I am therefore reposting my questions. For each of: Microsoft AMIGABASIC, ASSEMBLER, Lattice and Aztec C. How does one accomplish the following: 1) Set the serial port to:baud rate=1200, parity=even, 7 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit. I.e. send a total of 10 bits/char. OPEN "com1:1200,e,7,1" ... in BASIC is not sending even parity. 2) Send a true break signal out the serial port. I.e send a spaces signal for a user settable duration of x milliseconds. x is usually approximately 300, but may vary somewhat for different computers/timesharing sevices. 3) Stop the serial driver from automatically sending out a series of presumably ^Ss if the receive buffer gets full. Note: Perhaps this only happens in BASIC. 4) Pass a DC1 received from the remote device/computer into the BASIC program. For that matter I wish to be able to get all characters coming into com1: into my program. Since others may find the answers usefull, I suggest that all replies be posted to the net. Don't you just feel a sense of accomplishment if you can get your Amiga to do something. With an IBM it's much less fun. It doesn't fight back.
