The EASY disk contains short, simple to understand and use EASYBAS,
EASYC and ASYPAS programs, providing straight forward, file type I/O to
serial ports with debug information. Use these FIRST, base your sample
applications on them. Source code, make files and compiled ready to run
programs supplied.
TERM programs
A suite of larger terminal emulation programs written in C (Cterm), Assembly
language (Aterm), Pascal (Pasterm), BASIC (BASterm) and FORTRAN
(FORterm) show how to access the NEWBIOS routines as well as the simple file
I/O to ports. They contain many lines of code and are thus harder to grasp. They
demonstrate in depth serial port programming in a variety of languages but they
are also useful tools for using serial devices.
Comtest.exe
Comtest is a short but invaluable program that is used to check that the serial
port at a particular I/O address is functioning correctly and is connected to the
particular IRQ line. The program correctly identifies the UART type by
employing the built in loop back capability of the PC serial port chip, a full test
of the baud rate generator, transmitting and receiving buffer, parity enable and
start stop bit is performed. There is no need for a second serial port or a cable
when using this utility.
