MIT/ISI Comm Package
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: MIT/ISI Comm Package
From: Dick Gillmann <GILLMANN@ISIB.ARPA>
We're releasing a new serial I/O package to the Info-IBMPC library. It was
originally developed by John Romkey and Jerry Saltzer of MIT. I made some
modifications. Craig Rogers has taken it quite a bit further. The package is
fully interrupt driven on transmit, receive and error detection. It will run
at 9600 baud, and even faster if you don't plan on doing anything else.
Both my version and Craig's version are now in the library. My version is
pretty much the same as the one sent me by John Romkey. It has been converted
to use Microsoft Pascal calling conventions. Only one serial port is
supported (COM1:). The package is in the file COM_PKG1.ASM. A dumb terminal
program that calls it, written in Pascal, is in the file GLASSTTY.PAS. Send
questions about this version to GILLMANN@ISIB.
Craig Rogers' version uses a dozen files or so. CONTENTS describes the
various files. Both the complexity and flexibility of this version come from
its ability to support multiple operating systems, languages, and address
sizes. Currently it supports large and small model Lattice C, DOS 1.1 and DOS
2.0 as well as a stand alone mode. Both COM1 and COM2 are supported
simultaneously. A package is included for line printer support. The
subdirectory contains a dumb terminal program and a null modem program written
in Lattice C that call the package. Questions about this version to
ROGERS@ISIB.
