2.5 Interfaces COMI, COM2, LPTI
Golden Gate provides the serial interface of the Amiga under MS-DOS either
as COM! or as COM2 (these are the two standard PC/AT serial interfaces). This
means that e.g. a modem can be connected and used with the help of a
corresponding PC/AT program (e.g. PROCOMM PCPLUS, Telix, Telemate).
Restrictions to this arise in the maximum of attainable Baudrate; the
emulated COMI/COM2 interface, under the best conditions, can be operated
with a maximum of 9600 Baud.
The parallel interface is available as LPTI (this is the standard PC/AT
interface) under MS-DOS. This means e.g. that a printer (also a laser printer)
can be connected and be used by MS-DOS to full extent. The small restriction
arising here consists of the Amiga's parallel interface being only
unidirectional, a fact that is completely negligible for operating a printer.
