RS232 (Load RS232 Driver) Command

Index


Purpose

This command loads the RS232 handler from a P:R: Connection or the Atari 850 interface.
 

Syntax RS232
 
Type External — on device CAR:
 
Remarks You need to use this command prior to using a P:R: Connection or Atari 850 interface unless the program you are going to use does this automatically. Try your program without RS232 first. You should hear a beep on your monitor (TV) speaker if the handler loads. If not and an error occurs, type this command and run your program again.

Avoid loading the RS232 handler more than once. Your system may crash if you load several copies of the RS232 handler into memory, since MEMLO is raised each time.
