over on Vcf, I asked about whether serial over console was possible and
they said:
CP/M is basically indifferent about the details of the console, that
being contained within the BIOS created by the vendor for the
platform you're running on. I'm not familiar with the M100 platform,
but if it has a serial port, *AND* the vendor implemented CP/M "I/O
redirection" in their BIOS, then you can use STAT to re-assign the
console to a serial port. You have to determine which of the devices
is the serial port, but then you'd issue a command like "STAT
CON:=TTY:" after which you should see the "A>" prompt on the serial
port. Note that if you reassign the console to the wrong device, you
won't be able to issue the command to return to the original console
device (e.g. "STAT CON:=CRT:"), and will probably have to RESET and
reboot. Read up on the STAT command, as it can show you the
available device assignments, current assignments, etc.
Which kinda makes sense, but what is the serial port called? CON is
already TTY, so that's not it. Also, how do I set the baud rate and
suchlike in CP/M... anyway, " it has a serial port, *AND* the vendor
implemented CP/M "I/O redirection" in their BIOS"... does anyone know if
this is the case?
Thanks,
Will
