- I am writing some code to interface a device connected to a
- serial port at a transfer rate of 19200 bauds.
-
- The problem is that the documentation I have on serial ports indicates
- that the maximum transfer rate is 9600 baud (PC intern from Abacus).
- This is done by setting bits 5-7 of the AL register.
-
- Can someone tell me how to set the baud rate to 19200 ?
- Is the AL register redefined so that the new definition (ie bit 5-7
- set high) corresponds to 19200 baud transfer rate ?
-
- Thanks in advance
