- Subject: Bug report... MiNT 1.04 Serial port control.
- Date: Wed, 28 Apr 1993 09:00:11 +0100 (BST)
- Mime-Version: 1.0
-
- Bug:
-
- Setting the baud rate etc on all serial ports other than modem1 doesn't
- work when using Fcntl. Using Fcntl to read port statistics show these to
- have been set by the first call to Fcntl.
-
- System Configuration:
-
- Atari TT030, 4 MB ST-RAM, 4MB TT-RAM, 48MB internal disk (standard Atari),
- 85 MB external disk (on ACSI bus), TOS 3.05(UK).
-
- HD utils: both ICD 5.4.1 and AHDI 5.xx.
-
- Auto folder software: Atari mouse accelerator version 3.3, Serpatch 2,
- ICD time program.
-
- Probable Cause:
-
- Esoteric use of Bconmap() in xbios.c.
-
- Possible Solution:
-
- Rewrite serial port code so as to access hardware directly. Will also allow
- support for higher port speeds on Zilog based serial ports and support for
- modem signal monitoring by software using standard system calls.
