NewCOM.sys
A device driver, it supports COM1 to COM16,
allowing 16 serial ports to be used under DOS.
It also includes an interrupt handler for
enhanced performance with user definable
buffer sizes. Accessible from all DOS
languages, it is the heart of the Serial Solution.
It has extensive handshaking support,
implementing both hardware handshaking
using any combination of the DTR, DSR, CTS,
RTS, and DCD lines, and a software handshake
using the XON/XOFF protocol.
NewCOM24.sys
A device driver providing support for 24 ports.
NewCOM32.sys
A device driver providing support for 32 ports.
NewMode.exe
A replacement for the DOS ’mode com...’
command. NewMode is used to set the serial
parameters, including the port address, IRQ
line used, the baud rate, parity and data and
stop bit options. Baud rates supported are from
110 baud to 115,200 baud! Included is a very
handy query mode that reports the settings of
the various serial ports. Flexible and fast!
EASY
programs. The EASY disk contains short, simple to
understand and use EASYBAS, EASYC and
EASYPAS programs, providing straight
forward, file type I/O to serial ports with debug
information. Use these FIRST, base your
sample applications on them. Source code,
make files and compiled ready to run programs
supplied.
TERM programs A suite of larger terminal emulation programs
written in C (Cterm), Assembly language
(Aterm), Pascal (Pasterm), BASIC (BASterm)
and FORTRAN (FORterm) show how to
access the NEWBIOS routines as well as the
simple file I/O to ports. They contain many
lines of code and are thus harder to grasp. They
