Why OpenCore Plus UART?

[bbond007]

I use Procomm Plus in DOS on a regular basis to 'dial out' to various Internet BBSes, nothing to do with PPP (and long predates it).

I'm back to using ProComm Plus 2.01 again with a small tweak to the MiSTer.exe

https://github.com/bbond007/Main_MiSTer ... db63446a1f

So its not really a regression in the core like I previously suggested...

It no longer hangs on start and works well at all BAUD rates I have tested.

With this change, are baud rates still offset the way Sorg indicated?

no. with this change baud rates are normal.

ok, i will add that change.
I think then >=2 should cover other non-midi cases

EDIT: Mea culpa, I compiled Main_MiSTer from the wrong repo and didn't pick up your change. Working well now!

Kind of struggling with this and can't understand what I'm doing wrong. It worked previously.

MidiLink.INI has an [ao486] entry that reads "TCP_BAUD = 9600". /sbin/midilink is fully up to date, as is my MiSTer binary and the ao486 core. ao486 is set to UART Speed Normal, UART mode MIDI, MidiLink Remote, Type TCP. Procomm Plus is set to 9600 8N1.

When I type "at" into the terminal, I see _something_ that looks very much like a baud rate mismatch, but nothing I've done seems to make it any better. Suggestions?

[rhester72]

Apologies - one more quick thing, now that I have ao486 sorted.

Do the changes to the MiSTer main require changes in cores to continue to function properly?

The exact same situation (2400 baud in C64) is happening with the bbond007 MiSTer patch (and likely much earlier). I wonder if the core itself requires some sort of code update to align with main?

[Caldor]

I have had trouble with some cores that I suspect might have to do with the AO486 updates. But hard to say for sure if that is why.

I suspect your unspecified trouble with unspecified cores has nothing to do with ao486 updates...

You can always try and revert to the MiSTer from here https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_Mi ... r/releases

@bbond007 Does the virtual modem still work for you on the C64 core? (You'd know better than pretty much anybody.)

Yes, works fine at 1200 or 2400 baud...

Do you have "User Port : UART" in OSD? I just added that to the wiki you linked above - pretty important.

Damn. :/

My bad. (And I knew better already, too.)

Good catch.
