- Notes on !SerialDev.Modules.82C710 16th February 1993
- ----------------------------------
-
- This is a block driver module. You require a block driver compatible
- comms program to make use of it.
-
- This is a very small modification of the standard 'Internal' block
- driver which gives three extra baudrates: 38400, 57600 and 115200.
- When the comms program attempts to set these rates, the block
- driver bashes the hardware directly (the 82C710/711, only present
- in the A5000, A4, A3010, A3020, A4000) to program the faster rate.
-
- I give no guarantees about what speed you'll be able to actually
- get, error free, on your machine, but it's worth a try. I seem
- to be able to get 57,600 (actual thoroughput of about 2,500 cps)
- without problems on my bog-standard 40Mb A5000.
