3.9.5 Terminal Communications
High baud rates occasionally result in dropped characters on the terminal display. This is not the
result of a baud rate mismatch; it is due to the host processor being too busy or too slow to
process incoming data at the selected baud rate. The D-Bug12 MD, MDW, T, and HELP
commands may be affected by this problem. Sometimes the problem can be ignored without
harm. If it requires correcting, try the following:
•
Use a slower baud rate.
•
Try a different communications program.
•
In multitasking environments such as Windows 3.1 and the MacIntosh System 7, the
problem can occur when several applications are running at once. Try closing
unnecessary applications or exiting Windows.
•
When using the MD, MDW, or T commands, try displaying fewer address locations
or tracing fewer instructions at a time.
