ASCII Driver (for CPU 943/944 with Two Serial Interfaces Only*)
CPUs 943/944 provide an ASCII driver for the second interface (SI 2). The ASCII driver regulates
data traffic between the main processor and the second interface.
The ASCII driver functions only if you make the appropriate setting in the high-order byte of
system data word 46 (see Table 12-7). Error messages are stored in the low-order byte of this
system data word.
Note
No other functions are possible (e.g. programmer/OP) when the ASCII driver is active.
