It seems that passing the port on every cycle is inefficient and expensive, and it would be unnecessary since the port used by any process would not change, once it is determined. It also seems that if the libraries for the Apple][ could allow 2 (or more) instances of the drivers could be loaded or the multiple support be implemented in the Apple ][ library, then the problem is reduced to a specific architecture. In the Apple //c the ports are called the modem and printer ports, although they are functionally identical and have different addresses. -- Rob Steinmetz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
