XON/XOFF

RTS/CTS (not implemented in preblitter ROMs)
Note that a setting of 3 turns on both XON/XOFF and
RTS/CTS, which is meaningless. Also note that in the first
(preblitter) TOS ROMs, the RTS/CTS handshake method was
not supported.
The other input parameters for the Rsconf() function,
ucr, rsr, trs, and scr are used to set various 8-bit registers on
the 68901 Multi-Function Peripheral interface chip (MFP).
The first, ucr, sets the USART (Universal Synchronous/Asyn­
chronous Receiver/Transmitter) control register. This controls
various communications parameters such as parity, stop bits,
and data bits per word. The function of each of the register
bits are as follows:
Table 3-2. ucr Bits

2 Parity enable
0 = Off
2 = On

4 3 Number of Start and Stop Bits
0 0 No start or stop bits (synchronous)
