Flow control behavior in //c vs //gs vs //e



Here's what I've observed so far:

//c defaults to no flow control (but might respect hardward flow
control optionally), whereas you can turn on XON/XOFF optionally, it is
not on by default.

SSC defaults to xon/xoff flow control, but when you disable xon/xoff it
actually activates hardware (rts/dts) flow-control.  If a pc were set
to no flow control, the apple will just ignore the input from the pc
(whereas the //c would still listen to the pc.

Can anyone verify this is correct (the SSC reference manual is not very
specific about this behavior).

Also, can anyone tell me their observations of the //gs flow control
behavior?  I suspect it is more like the SSC, but have no way to verify
this at the moment other than playing around with Kegs (which has
incomplete serial support at the moment)

thanks!
