My ANSI terminal may work in spite of itself. I just (finally) hunted for and found my CC3 w/ the USB serial link and cleared off and set up my Intellivision ...

For what it's worth, I haven't managed to get the basic loopback working on my own NTSC system. That said, I'm operating on the edge of falling asleep... I've...

Ok, after a good night's sleep, I was able to tackle this this morning. I downloaded and installed minicom, and recompiled my loopback program to use 9600 ...

Joe, Thanks for the detailed report. I'm pretty sure I tried at least 1200 and 4800 bauds yesterday and it didn't change anything. I will try using indirect...

I figured out where the repeated characters came from. My own Linux-side program was inserting them whenever it detected a dropped character on the loopback...

Hello all! I just noticed that the pre-processor accepts macros with names that contain more than word characters. I don't know if this was common knowledge,...

I have been doing some more research. The Transmit Holding Register Empty signal only says when the TX FIFO is empty. You can actually queue up 16 bytes, but...

Ah, gotcha. In those cases, I've been known to use a DECLE directive to see what something evaluated to. That was before I added the SMSG directive and value...
