Hi,
I have a couple of really dumb devices that I use 'tip' to talk to.
One is a Motorola 6811 microcontroller and the other is an old EEPROM
burner. I find that 'tip' overflows these devices when I'm sending
Motorola s-record and Intel Hex formatted files.
It looks like tip's 'cdelay' and 'ldelay' features do just the trick.
However, they are disabled, surrounded by '#ifdef notdef' sequences.
Just to make sure, I re-enabled them locally, and re-implemented the
apparently lost 'nap()' function to make sure that these features work
for my application, and they do.
My question is: does anyone remember why these were disabled in the
first place? Is there an equivalent replacement feature that I can
use instead to pace the outgoing characters so that I don't overrun
dumb devices with no flow control?
Thanks,
-Brian
