Serial port with up to 115200 (460000) Baud, external 9 pin SubD connector
A serial port is provided on a PC standard male 9 pin SubD connector. It uses RS-232 compatible trans-
ceivers capable of up to 460 kBaud in hardware. Software support was tested up to 115200 Baud.
Please note that the Q68 does not use the original QL SER1 / SER2 pinout. The hardware delivers serial
mouse power supply. The Q68 operates at a 7 or 8 bit rate. There is no parity nor hardware handshake.
Has anyone tested speeds above 115200 yet? Are those speeds accessible from within SMSQ/E? S*BASIC?
Is it unbuffered? There's no RTS/CTS or XON/XOFF handshaking according to the manual.
I have a wifi/internet enabled game I want to port to it. It would allow true multiplayer games, for the cost of a small and cheap embedded wifi adapter. This would also bring high speed standards-based encryption/decryption to the Q68.
I have tested Q68 to QPC2, Q68 to Q60, Q68 to Q68, using Sernet at 115200 baud, using a commerical Null Modem cable. All worked very nicely
The main problem with connection above 115200 Baud, I do not have anything other a Q68 that the serial port supports serial speeds exceeding 115200 Baud.
If you can give an example I will see if I can give it a try.
