Author:   llucius@millcomm.com (L.Lucius)
Uploader: llucius@millcomm.com (L.Lucius)
Version:  37.12
Type:     comm/misc
Requires: AmigaDOS 2.04+ (might work under 1.3)
Replaces: comm/misc/8n1.lha

A replacement driver for the standard serial.device.  Originally based on
v34serial.device, it has been redesigned and enhanced.  Includes source.

This release should fix some problems for you 68000 users and, as you can
see, will fix several other problems.

Changes since last Aminet release:

Version: 37.11 15-Aug-95
------------------------
- Added line to turn on the DSR bit if needed.  Normally
  commented out.

- Removed unneeded RTS line code added on 04-Aug-95.

- Clear SERB_ACTIVE IO_FLAG when I/O has completed.

- Set default SERFLAGS during device open.

- Use current baud and buffer sizes for initializing I/O
  request instead of default.

- Turn Handshake on by default to match SerFlags.

- Insure that interrupts are enabled prior to checking TBE or
  RBF interrupts.

- Check SOFTINT prior to TBE to keep 8n1 from blocking them.

- Add code to correct bug in NComm.  Define symbol NCOMM and
  reassemble to get this support.

- Isolated SNMA directives to allow assembly with SAS/C
  assembler.

Version: 37.12 27-Aug-95
------------------------
- Re-added list arbitration in cmd_Read.

- Added I/O completion status to each command routine and
  removed unnecessary code from BeginIO routine.

- Removed PC-Relative optimizer option to prevent incorrect
  conversion to a 68020+ instruction.  This should fix the
  problems on 68000 machines.

- Added test for QUICK bit in AbortIO routine.

- Changed DS alignment directives to CNOP directives.

- Third Aminet release.
