Perhaps you folks could be of assistance? I would like to know the expected frequency of interrupts from the AT-type async I/O chip (16450?) and from the XT-type chip (8250B?) when attempting to perform 9600 baud serial I/O .. [ The XT-type has only a shift register and a holding register, correct? The AT-type has a buffer, too ? ] -- --==---==---==-- .. Come to my arms, my beamish boy! ..
