Does anyone here have experience using serial ports in ReactOS for more than debugging? On recent builds here is what I've noticed:
I've installed the new release of puTTY in Ros:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
In a console window in Ros I do this (the last "N" means no handshaking):
putty -serial COM2 -sercfg 9600,8,n,1,N
Bug 1 - Both Dbg and Rel bootcd installs show COM1 and COM2 are available, but COM1 always fails to open. It should at least open on the Rel install, right?
Bug 2 -When I get COM2 opened using puTTY in Ros, I have to connect my cable to COM1 rather than COM2 on my Ros PC.
Bug 3 - Then on my other (real) windows PC I have to use a baud rate of 19200 rather than 9600.
Bug 4 - On the dbg install the reply from the PC to Ros doesn't appear in the puTTY terminal window. On the rel install the reply from the PC appears OK in the terminal.
I'm going to search more on this forum and the bug list but these are my initial test results. I'm not sure yet about the source of the noted bugs: Ros, putty, terminal program on (real) windows PC.
