- I am writing an application that needs to send asynchronous serial data at
- a speed of 250 Kbps. Specifically, I'm trying to generate DMX-512
- standard multimedia device control signals.
-
- This leads to two questions:
-
- 1) Can the NeXTs serial ports physically go that fast?
-
- 2) Is there any software support for this type of operation?
-
- As far as #2 goes, the NeXT docs and FAQ state that the top supported
- speed is 38.4... I'm hoping that there may be others who have written
- alternative device drivers...
-
- Thanks.
