I can get those libraries, but I wanted to do it I'd hardly call it a cop out. Your original post was just asking about doing serial I/O. That generally implies drivers that would work on all/most uarts, with and without the FIFOs enabled, detecting and working around bugs in some versions of the UARTs, and so on. And since there are such a wide variety of controllers and situations that you would have to deal with, it becomes a lot of work in writing it, debugging it, and maintaining it. That's why it's better to let others do it. They've already had to go through all that. Your message didn't say it would for a very specific use with a single controller.

I'll need to link the serial ports to the DSP chip and Well... There are a few more things. Like dealing with the FIFOs, making sure your uart even has a FIFO, setting up for the serial I/O interrupts, etc. --- QScan/PCB v1.19b / 01-0162 * Origin: Jackalope Junction 501-785-5381 Ft Smith AR (1:3822/1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 145 ASSEMBLY LANG.

You should make all demo effects (especialy slow 3D stuff) a function of time .. read the PIT directly with soemthing akin to.. sub al, al out 43h, al ; latch timer 0 in al, 40h ; LSB of timer 0 xchg ah, al in al, 50h ; MSB of timer 0 xchg ah, al the PIT counts down (by default) from 65535 with an increment of 2 You should (at least) reprogram the PIT to count by 1.. mov al, 34h ; counter 0 / word / (mode 2) count by 1 / binary out 43h, al sub al, al ; reset counter 0 and use new mode out 40h, al out 40h, al ..now, the PIt is a fast beast.. it will chew out 65536 "ticks" every 1/19th of a second .. using up its 16-bit resolution .. so you will need to keep track of these 1/19ths (or let DOS do it) --- GEcho 1.02+ * Origin: Midnight Madness <-> Hartford, CT (1:142/8076) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 145 ASSEMBLY LANG.

The Farout and Groovy Segments exist solely to keep people wondering what their purpose is. And what their names mean. However, if you actually load a value into them, your CPU will explode. At the very least. Actually, they're a bit like ES: non-dedicated segment registers. Peter ... Help... Help on 'Help'... Help on 'Help on 'Help''...

I used Lha because in another echo it was recommended because it's free. However, I believe the use of pkUnzip is also free. When using UUE, do you encourage the use of the -x option?

Source codes only, please. :-) IMHO, file_id.diz are a real convenience to organizing files. I don't see it as a BBS issue. When compacted in the zip it may add 25-300 bytes. Without it, all that text has to be put in the sourcecode. Well, it may be there anyway, but I use the diz to make a descript.ion automatically, so I find a diz valuable. Sorry about including the .com file. That was a mistake. Hope you continue as moderator, James. Kind regards, Barry * Origin: EBO-BBS A'dam +31-20-6002828 (2:280/901.42)
