No... not exactly - it's not about the nice printer (which works with old serial on all OS5 because of this problem) but about the additional driver to connect Symbol 1504 (nice small and blue) barcode scanner to the printer. I need some control signals which the old serial is not giving.
Dave, it seems to be an OS bug, it's difficult to be compiller one working right with old one and corrupting my locals with the new serial :( damn. once again... I've reported a couple of bugs, getting tired and Palm will hate me if I continue :( So... no way to solve it easy... must go through all 150 functions and change them... I have no time for this game :( "Alessandro Zummo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > On Thu, 11 Sep 2003 09:05:03 -0700 > Flex <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I have a fairly simple code opening serial manager, send 2 bytes and try > > to read 1, something like that: > > > > void test() > > { > > char tmp[6]; > > int result; > > > > tmp[0]=0x0d; > > tmp[1]='v'; > > SrmSend(...); > > SrmReceive(ref,tmp,1); > > result=tmp[0]; > > } > > > so... this works on everything but OS5 devices - tested on T&C, on OS5 > > the device resets itself.
