IO-PORTS (part 2)

IO-PORTS (part 2)

[Qwerty]

Hi,

Thanks for the help on my first question (see topic IO-PORTS). I already 
have a sort of working prototype but still I have some questions left.

The program has to be interrupt-driven. What interrupt_id do I have to 
use for the COM1-port (I suppose Names.SIGINT ??? What else, because 
it's not working).


How to use the Interrupt_Priority pragma? I mean, you have to write 
something like: pragma Interrupt_Priority(???).. But I don't really know 
what to write in the ??? place, even constants like Max_Priority as 
specified in the Systems package don't compile..


BTW My PC is an Intel with Windows 98.


Any help is welcome,
Alexander

If you uise the DOS interrupts package at
http://users.ncrvnet.nl/gmvdijk/other_os.html#DOSINT
then you use Jerry's interrupt chaining mechanism, and you use whatever
IRQ is assigned to the port you're using.

I wouldn't even bother with interrupt priorities, and in any case, they
don't apply to Jerry's package.
