SerialDev/SerModules/ReadMe
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

SerialUtil & Serialdev ---------------------- These two modules are written to run under RISC OS 3.10, and improve integrity of serial communications (particularly receiving) at speeds of 9600 baud and above. They were included in the ROM distribution for RISC OS 3.11, and as such are not needed on systems equipped with this version of the OS. They should be *RMLoaded on system bootup. Note from David@arcade.demon.co.uk If you're using a program written for Risc OS 3.1, don't bother with SerialUtil. It's the replacement SerialDev module that's the important one! SerialBuff ---------- David Pilling's Serial Buffer module should also be RMloaded & its parameters specified in your !boot file eg; RMload ADFS::IDEdisc4.$.!System.Modules.SerialBuff SerialBufferSize 16384 8192
