Title: Fastest alt to serial.device for A1000?
Post by: blakespot on March 18, 2021, 05:52:50 PM
I have an A1000 and a WiFi232 device and was talking with Thomas Cherryhomes (behind IRATA online) and he informed me that some ANSI issues I'm having (above 9,600 baud JR-COMM has trouble "keeping up" w/ ANSI translation w/ 4 biplanes) may be rectified by using the v34.device driver. I see no info on this anywhere, but I do see that 8n1.device is based on it, though it Guru's the 1000. (It states 2.04+ needed, but Cherryhomes indicated that the 1.3 framework for such .devices did not change in 2.04 -- dunno.)

I see there's baudbandit.device, also. Not sure if it works with 1.3. What is out there? Will any alt driver run more efficiently than serial.device on my NTSC A1000 w/ 512K CHIP and 8MB SRAM FAST?

Thanks.

Artser or v34 probably you're best bets;-

Hm, I got artser to work once, but the rest of the time it gurus. And v34 gurus every time.

I guess serial.device it is.

That's a shame.

I can't remember if 1.3 has ChangetaskPri to increase speed of tasks. Or status to list current tasks and pririorities. Those probably came in 2 but I honestly can't remember.
