SERIAL UPGRADE KIT FOR SERVSWITCH™ AFFINITY
At times you might see a rapidly changing screen when you switch to a serial port.
This is because the first time you connect to a serial port with no data in the buffer,
you will get a blank screen with the cursor in the upper left-hand corner. As you
interact with the computer, the screen fills up with data. This data is stored in the
Affinity in a separate buffer for each computer port. When you disconnect and
later reconnect to this serial port, the data that is in the buffer is sent to the user
station. So you might see a replay of old buffer data as it is loaded from the buffer
to the user station.
