Re: A86: grphlink error
I have mine connected directly into the 25pin serial port on the back of my
computer and it works fine (minus the difficulties that one gets by Win95's
mangling of serial ports in general). When I put together this computer, I
added the 25 pin serial port specifically for the graphlink. I believe that
25pin serial ports were popularized in PS/2's.. I know the PS/2 had a lot of
hardware changes and that may have been one of the ones that stuck. I guess
all its really good for now is those external 14.4's that still have the big
old cables. I'd have to agree that the 25 pin thing was really stupid on
TI's part -- it should have gone the other way with the adapter. Maybe they
have a USB one in the works (woudlnt' that be neat?)
On to a more Asm-related issue.. does anyone know if its possible to have a
program which loads a module from a string into a specified area in memory
(I'm thinking GRAPH_MEM) and then have it be executed? Would you simply set
SP to GRAPH_MEM and watch it fly?? If this isn't the case, how would one go
about making an API?
