Our driver will emulate exactly the non-brain dead features of the Amiga's own
serial driver. It correctly implements the documented features of the serial
device which don't actually work in commodore's present driver.
I actually *am* pretty confident that any correctly written software which
works with “serial.device'' will also correctly function on our driver.
Provided, of course, that said software does not go directly to the Amiga
hardware.
We have been instrumental in locating latent bugs in several existing
commercial and p.d. communications products which (due to differences in driver
implementation) did seem to work with the Amiga's own serial device. Without
exception these were related to re-using an IO request block before it was
legal to do so. In this regard, our driver is less forgiving.
At this point our performance record is quite strong. It is now much easier to
locate software which has already been proven on the board than to find
software which hasn't.
As far as lending you a board – send me mail. What type of product is it again?
