Actually, the serial I/O setup page in VirtualT has a selection for "Other 
Host Port".  My original idea here was to create an "emulated serial port" 
via a socket connection to a serial port server over the internet.  I just 
never got around to creating such a beast.  It wouldn't be too far fetched 
to define a serial port protocol to pass across a socket interface.  Then 
the VirtualTPDD "service" (or any remote, socket connected serial service) 
could simply bind to appropriate socket and implement the serial port 
protocol.

And yes, CVS has the all the serial I/O code up-to-date.  It has "#ifdef 
WIN32" around all the Windows specific serial I/O stuff, but the stubs are 
the there for *nix.

Well, there's already a protocol... no need to slather on a new one.  Just 
dump 'er over the raw socket.

Hrm... perhaps I'll take a look in the near future then.

OT: Toad's Blood Substitute -- Was: Re: C on the M100

Hello Gene:

Thank you for the tip about putting a drop of toad's blood on the crystal.
Lacking any toad's blood, I substituted a few squirts of DeoxIT D5 by Gaig
Laboratories sprayed into the crystal socket contacts.  Stable oscillation
ensued!

And the members of the Lesser Occupants of The Intergalactic System (LOTIS),
who were Trick or Treat visitors to my neighborhood last evening, enjoyed
hearing the War of the Worlds rerun.  But I never realized that the signal
travels around the horn of the Milky Way during its annual lightyear
distance trip -- shazaam!

Hello to the Marshalls:

Yes, during leap years the broadcast arrives the day after Halloween.  Next
year is on track, but in year 2008 the insertion of the 29th into the month
of February displaces Halloween and other special days by an extra 24 hours.

RS232 port and handshaking

Folks,
Before I build an experiment to figure out the RS232 handshaking, I thought I 
would ask..

There are some published routines for sending and receiving a byte to/from 
the serial port.

Do those routines obey the hardware handshaking in the RS232 port, or is it 
required to manage the hardware handshakes independant of the published 
routines?

Also, does the TPDD require the use of hardware handshaking?

thanks, Steve

ACK C/Basic/Pascal/Occam/Modula-2 compiler for 8080

<x-flowed>
Well, at tack.sourceforge.net you'll find a cross-compiler which does C, 
BASIC, Pascal, Occam, and Modula-2 for an 8080 target.  Add in a thing which 
handles the interrupt stuff, and you have a super compielr set for the 
m100... I'm looking into it now.

RS232 questions


Folks,
Before I build a test bed to figure out how the serial port works, I thought 
I would ask the list.

I'm trying to understand the interaction between the published RS232 routines 
for sending /receiving bytes, and the hardware flow control lines.

Do the published routines manage and use the hardware flow control lines?

or, must those lines be managed separately?

Also, does the TPDD require or use hardware flow control?

thanks, Steve

Re: OT: Toad's Blood Substitute -- Was: Re: C on the M100

Now, while we're waiting around for the return broadcast, is there any help
for my earlier query about a TPDD2 disc full of important data, now showing
"unformatted"?

One of those LOTIS.
