NAME

     ser -- Amiga 8520 serial communications interface


SYNOPSIS

     ser0 at mainbus0


DESCRIPTION

     The Amiga 8520 controls, among other things, a single port EIA RS-232C
     (CCITT V.28) communications interface with a single character buffer.
     Such an interface is built-in to all Amiga machines.

     Input and output for each line may set to one of following baud rates;
     50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,
     38400, 57600 or 76800.


FILES

     /dev/tty00


DIAGNOSTICS

     ser0: silo overflow.  The single-character input ``silo'' has overflowed
     and incoming data has been lost.

     ser0: %d ring buffer overflows.  The software based input ring buffer has
     overflowed %d times and incoming data has been lost.

BUGS

     Data loss is possible on busy systems with baud rates greater than 300.
