Re: Problems setting up SSC

[Kevin Millar <kmillar@ihug.co.nz>]

Thanks for pointing that out. (Ooops).

Unfortunately, it hasn't fixed the problem.  I am still getting the MSB set
all the time.  I have tried the SW2-7, and I played around with the SW1-5,6,7
as well, but no luck.

If I switch on the "Force data to 7-bit ASCII" option in the terminal
emulator, it works fine.  But I want to use the serial port for binary
transfers (if I can).

I have noticed that when files are transferred from an Apple to a PC, it seems
that they are normally done as ASCII files.  I thought this was so that they
can be emailed easily.  Could it be that is Super Serial Card has problems
sending binary (8-bit) data?  If it is a limitation then I can program around
it, but I would like to know if I am doing something wrong.

I would also like more information on accessing the Super Serial Card from
assembly programs. (I/O locations and their functions).
