Other files containing information on the serial port:

The_Serial_Port.more01:
This is the source of the program I received from Stephen Warner
<ee_d316@dcs.kingston.ac.uk>. The program does not work with XTs
(but it does fine with real computers).

The_Serial_Port.more02:
This file contains the assembler version of the procedure
'detect_IRQ'. Mike Surikov wrote the C source, and I've translated
it to assembly language. Simply adjust BASEADDR, assemble it
(with MASM or TASM) and run the .EXE file you get.

The_Serial_Port.more03:
Mike Surikov sent me these functions. The detect_UART function below is
different from the one in the file "The_Serial_Port". Just cut the lines
below, copy them to a file "anyname.c" and compile them. If you specify
a base address at the command line, info for this port is given. (E.g.
"anyname 3f8").

The_Serial_Port.more04:
I received this from Frank Whaley <few@autodesk.com>; he agreed with
spreading the shar round.
> I disagree with only one point -- that interrupt-handling in C is unusable.
> In the US, a 25MHz 386SX is almost the minimum configuration.  The attached
> code has been used by many people to build high-speed communication or
> data acquisition software.

The_Serial_Port.more05:
An article on the 16550 and the TurboCom package that has been posted to
the Usent.
