5.0 out of 5 stars Best serial communications book in 28 yrs experience., 21 Oct 1998

By A Customer

I've been designing, installing and programming communications networks for 28 years (asynch, synch, X.25, APPC) and this is the most lucid explanation of asynchronous, serial I/O I've found.

I've written low-level, interrupt-driven comm. handlers for the 8250 UART based on this book. To my knowledge, I've the only interrupt-driven INPUT buffer routine I've ever found (in C).

Chapters 6 and 13 alone are worth the price of the book.

Two of the systems I've used serial I/O are: [1] interface between HP 3000 and cardboard corrugator for production control; includes five serial I/O ports to machinery, consoles and spooled printers (under DOS!). [2] interface to meat grading probe, electronic scale & bard code reader in a slaughterhouse (DOS again).

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is indispensable, 22 Oct 2002

By	bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: C. Programmer's Guide to Serial Communications (Paperback)

If you are planning to do any serious programming with serial communications, I suggest you purchase a copy of this book. Instead of just a narrative, this book contains as key charts, C code, and X modem information, informational and classical C R C circuits, frequency modulation, scratch pads, terminal information, R S 32 intimation, and on, and on, and on.
It includes an ASCII poster. I have tried mounted my copy of the ASCII poster and placed on Wall above the CRT. The people where I took it to be dry mounted asked me if this was an eye chart.
The Bullets on the back cover include: The ASCII character set and cover extension techniques.
The fundamentals of a synchronous technology: baud rate, START and STOP bits, and more.
Error-checking methods including a landmark treatment of C R C's.
Flow-control and file-transfer protocols.
Modems: theory and practice.
The rs-232interface from the programmer's point of view.
Intelligent modems, including the entire Hayes smart modem family.
UART's: a detailed examination of two popular products the 8250 and the deceit Z80SIO.
This book is 655 pages long and there is not one wasted.
