General information
Title:
Remember this stuff?
Hello All,
We need to put on a screen of a computer running MSDOS6 the info that is coming in via a serial port.
We think that we vaguely remember to set the port parameters first ("MODE COM1:9600,n,7,1") and then redirect the info that comes in through that port to the screen ("COPY COM1 CON"). It seems to work because you get on a blank line a blinking cursor that seems to be waiting for incoming via the port. But when we sent a string to the port an error message appears ("General failure reading device COM1; Abort, Retry, Ignore, Cancel").
Is there anybody that remembers how to do this?
Thanks,
Koos Veel.
