Overview

The BASIC ROM provides access to the serial port. BASIC ROM support is well documented elsewhere. This article covers direct use of the IM6402 UART on the Model 100 and Tandy 102.

Configuration

Before the serial port can be used, it must be configured both for serial word format (data bits, stop bits, and parity) and baud rate.

Select RS232 Port

At any given time, either the internal modem or the external RS232 connector may be connected to the UART. This is controllable through software.

For RS232 access, port $B8, bit #3 must be set to 0.

For Modem access, port $B8, bit #3 must be set to 1.

Note that $B8 is shared with other functions, including power control.

Serial Word Format

Port $D8 controls the serial word format.

Actually, any of $D0 → $DF can be used.

Bit Function Settings
0 Stop Bit Select 0 → 1 stop bit
1 → 2 or 1.5 stop bits (1.5 if character length is 5, 2 otherwise)
1 Even Parity Enable 0 → Odd parity
1 → Even
2 Parity Inhibit 0 → Parity
1 → No parity
4-3 Character Length Select Bits:
00 → 5
01 → 6
10 → 7
11 → 8
7-5 Unused

Baud Rate

CPU selection of baud rate is accomplished by loading a divisor into the PIO register through output ports $BC or $B4 and $BD or $B5.

The baud rate selection must be committed by writing $C3 to register $B8


Baud Rate PIO
Divisor
Port $BD Port $BC
75 2048 72 0
110 1396 69 116
300 512 66 0
600 256 65 0
1200 128 64 128
2400 64 64 64
4800 32 64 32
9600 16 64 16
19200 8 64 8
38400 4 64 4

Here is a practical example of using 38400bps using only BASIC code. This program dumps all RAM contents to the serial port.

Data Transmission

Data Reception

I/O Map

NameDirectionPort
TX Output $C8
RX Input $C8
RTS Output $BA, bit 7
CTS Input $BB, bit 4
DSR Input $BB, bit 5
DTR Output $BA, bit 6

Direction indicates both data flow, and whether to use an IN or OUT instruction to read/write to the given pin.
