- Perhaps the better solution is not to implement the interrupt handler
- in Meridian Ada but to use one of the many high quality public domain
- serial port drivers and write just an Ada interface. These often are
- written in highly optimized machine code and include also support for
- a large variety of serial line chips (e.g. the 16550 with 16 byte FIFO
- etc.). I highly recommend drivers conforming to the FOSSIL specification
- that evolved in the Fido community, e.g. the BNU driver.
