Communication Port
For AFX/2 (French traduction)
I. Introduction
The comm port can transfer up to 115200bps synchronisly.
II. I/O Ports
I'll name an I/O port with PXXh and XX, the hexadécimal number of the port.
Notation : L=E read value=writen value
L= only read value is important
E= only writing value is important
L/E= the writing!=reading but the both are important
1. P0Ah : Keybort and Com port Status
Default : 0Ah L/E

Bit 0 : Actvates the Comm Port Status.
bit 0 of P0Eh is on if a byte is received
Bit 1 : Can't be removed
Bit 2,4,5,7 : ?
Bit 3 : Sets the Keyboard status, if off the keyboard isn't available
anymore until it's on
Bit 6 : Sets bit 6of P0Eh to he value.
2. P0Eh : Comm port status
default : 00h L

Bit 0 : Shows if a byte has been correctly received.
Bit 1,2,3,4,5,7 : ?
Bit 6 : is at the P0Ah's bit 6 value.
Note: The utilisation of these 2 port are not important in communication
and you can only use P45h.
3. P11h : Activates Port courant.
Default : 03h L=E

Bits de 0 à 3 : Speed, number*4, ex :speed 4 = 4*4
= Ch
Bit 4 : Correct Communication
Bit 5 : Reception (3)
Bit 6 : Sending (5)
Bit de poids fort : Mode
Bits de poids faible : Speed
Note:if the bits 5&6 are on the comm port can comunicate synchronisly
Reading, gives the last byte received.
5. P45h : Shows the state of the comm port.
default : 00h L/E
Reading, state of the comm port.

To initialise to the chossen speed, put the green value into P47h.
And put 70/74/78/7C in P44h.
Ex : To communicate to14400bps:
- 0Bh in P47h, 70h in P44h
or
- 17h in P47h, 74h in P44h
or
- 2Bh in P47h, 78h in P44h
or
- 5Bh in P47h, 7Ch in P44h
IV. Primary Initialisation
This initialisation put power into the com port.
The P11h controls the comm power. You must activate bits 5 & 6 of P11h.
At end you may off the bits 5 &6.
V. Comm Config

3. Speed->P47h
4. Byte->P46h
5. 41h -> P45h and 70/74/78/7C ->P44h
6. Wait while bit 0 of P45h is off
7. Continue or go to 6 after puting byte into P46h
8. 00->P44h
9. bits 5 & 6 of P11h to zero

VI. And the Calculator ?
These method are good because you have a good access to the keyboard.For receiving,
the verification of the port must be the quickest possible.You can put the verification
in the Timer Interrupt 1Ch which on pc is called 18,2 times per seconds and
on the calc nearly 50 times per seconds.
VII. Note of the Methods
These method are correct because if you want to send a byte and wait for a
byte, you can de these without reconfiguring the comm port.
VIII. End Word
