This posting is because of all those messages regarding communications
that I have seen here.  I would like to know the following:
How does the Rs-232 standard is implemented in the Commodore?
What is the Rs-232 standard?
What's the difference between the Standard Rs232 and Commodores Rs232
(Besides the obvious voltage levels)?
Also, I while searching for information about the Commodore
implementation of the Rs232, I came across a comment saying that
Commodore wanted to keep the Configuration register compatible with
the UART chip.  What is this UART?

Any help would be appreciated
