Re: Why is this code exiting to the basic prompt?



Ah, that's the part I don't think I explained very well in this thread
but I did elsewhere.

When starting the apple game server, you type IN#2 which enables the
serial port using firmware.  This also turns on the buffering (and now
that I think about it probably also screws up the apple game server
periodically!)

Because I was going off the SSC reference guide, and assumed the //c
was basically similar **whoops**, this whole buffering thing eluded me.

But man, talk about STRANGE.  I never thought I would see a BPL fail to
work normally.  Makes me wonder how [and/or if] that whole buffering
code works to begin with!
