Lisa Pascal: Using Serial Ports

Here are some suggestions on how to output from the serial ports using
Pascal.

Even though the serial ports are not devices for file storage, they must be
specified with a dummy file name. The Lisa handles all I/O devices this way.
(See the Pascal Operating System Manual.)

reset (f, '-rs232a-xyz') where xyz is the dummy name

If you're writing a program to talk to some other type of device, such as a
card reader or test equipment, review Chapter 2 in the System Software
Manual, particularly the section named Device_Control. These procedures
describe how to configure the drivers for either port in order to allow
communication with other devices.
