Support for serial ports

This program provides support for the serial ports on your computer. At present no further information on how to use this program is available, for which we apologize. Additional information will be made available through our website. This is the list of active serial ports. It can be opened by selecting Ports from the iconbar menu or by clicking Select on the Serial icon in the iconbar. Each port that has been actived will add a line to this list, provided it complies to the Extended BlockDriver Specification.

Double click any line in the window shown above to open the Monitor window. A separate Monitor window is available for each of the currently active serial ports. Two sliders show the activity of the receive and transmit buffers. The LEDs at the right show the current status of the serial port's control lines.

This is the list of all BlockDrivers known by your computer. The green LEDs at the left show which drivers are currently being used. Two columns, marked 26 and 32, are provided to show if a driver is 26-bit and/or 32-bit compatible. Double clicking a line, reveals detailed information about that driver.

Writing software that uses BlockDrivers

Infomation on how to use or write BlockDrivers is available inside the !SerialDev application (should be in !Boot.Resources). Place the mouse pointer over the !SerialDev application, open the menu and select App. 'SerialDev' -> Help.
