So maybe there's really a use for the polling driver. actually the use of NMI for this is more or less a "tradition".... also most software that uses the swithlink (or any other serial cart for that matter) uses NMI. i think there are other reasons aswell... the latency involved in a "normal" IRQ vs NMI (routed over $0314 etc vectors) may make a difference. > > ok i'll have a look at them... as far as i remember they where more or > > less finished but need to be made loadable modules.... gotta check that > > :) > > Please keep in mind that variables must be initialized in INIT, because > otherwise the driver may not work correctly when statically linked. ok gpz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
