- A complete stranger came up to me today and asked me how to access the
- serial port on an Atari using GW Basic. Not surprising I didn't know, but
- I thought someone here might be able to help.
-
- Aparently he wants to connect some sort of relay device to his RS-232 port,
- he has a prgram written in GW Basic for use on an IBM. It does something
- like:
- OPEN comms1
-
- What is the equivilent device name for the Atari or will he have to be
- crude and poke at addresses?
-
- A small piece of code illustrating what he should do would be nice.
-
- Thanks in advance
-
- Cheers Mark...
