A 'retro' BASIC 'system'
#5
Actually, my biggest issue is how to poll the two ports to see if there is a request to do something. Something akin to INKEY$ but for the comm port. A$=INPUT$(#1) would/should work great once there is actual data to be input. But the first byte to even indicate stuff is coming. INKEY$ would work, but it doesn't seem to work with comm ports; at least to my understanding. And the A$=INPUT$(#1) would just sit there waiting, and never check the other comm port. Well, at least what I gather from reading through the books I have. I am hoping to get some time tomorrow to test out some things.... We shall see....
