Remap Baud: (All operating systems)
Setting the baud rate to 1200 baud will result in 230400 baud
Ignore Flush: (Windows NT/2K/XP)
If an application sends IRP_MJ_FLUSH_BUFFERS it will be ignored.
Excerpt from Microsoft documentation:
Drivers of devices with internal caches for data and drivers that maintain internal buffers for data
must handle this request.
When Sent
Receipt of a flush request indicates that the driver should flush the device's cache or its internal
buffer, or, possibly, should discard the data in its internal buffer.
Operation
The driver transfers any data currently cached in the device or held in the driver's internal buffer(s)
before completing the flush request. The driver of an input-only device that buffers data internally
might simply discard the currently buffered device data before completing the flush IRP,
depending on the nature of its device.
Fast Writes: (All operating systems)
When an application sends a write to the driver, by default the Edgeport driver will wait until all
data has been transmitted out of the Edgeport device before completing the write. When the Fast
Writes flag is set, we complete the write even if data is still buffered in the driver and the Edgeport
device.
Fast Reads:
This flag is used when an application requires that a read complete immediately. In the read
immediate case, the Edgeport driver will send a request to the Edgeport device asking for any
buffered data to be sent up. This buffered data will be included when the read completes. If this
flag is set, the driver will not query the Edgeport device for additional data.
Timer Logic: (Windows 9x only)
If application uses PortSetReadCallBack(), the notification routine will only be called when the
number of bytes in the receive buffer is greater then the RX trigger. The Microsoft serial VxD
also implements a timer that will trigger and call the notification routine if some amount of data is
available in the RX buffer but no new data has been received for ~200ms (receiver is no longer
active).
We do not enable this behavior by default because of the nature of Edgeport buffering. But if you
set the flag we will complete the read when we detect ~200 ms no activity.
Here is a comment from the code:
If the receiver is active then do not complete this read. The problem is that the Edgeport buffers
the RX bytes and we poll the driver. If we do not receive any bytes in 200ms we may report an
erroneous event even if there are available bytes in the Edgeport device or driver.
