An excellent guide to serial communications programming for Apple CP/M at that time. This book later helped me to develop a communications software for data exchange via modem for a commercial software project.

This book is indispensable
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 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 mounting my copy of the ASCII poster and placing it 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 asynchronous 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-232 interface 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.
