If the host buffer is too small, or is talking to a hardware device that is too slow, data will be lost. + +I notice this problem when I run a DOS program with this on the qemu command line: +-parallel /dev/usb/lp0 + +I can work around this problem by buffering via a pipe, but this looks like a general problem. Is there a way to wire up the readiness of the output chardev to the parallel port ACK and BUSY lines, and signal an ISA interrupt? I don't know the code well enough to tell. \ No newline at end of file |
