- Andy,
-
- I like your idea of creating an Abstract SERIAL Device Object but unfortunately
- I think it will be a difficult problem. The Apple view of devices and the
- services provided by them is in constant transition. For example, look at the
- upcoming changes in the SCSI manager that will cause the synchronous model to
- be subplanted with an Async one. The SYNC model does not map well onto the
- Apple Serial Port. Although it sort of sounds like a good reason to use Objects
- I would be very interested in seeing what kind of a model you can build to make
- it work.
