The Last Psion | Alex<p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a> people! I need some help.

I need some help. </p><p>I'm trying to get an old piece of software working with Haiku that uses serial comms (see <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/plptools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>plptools</span></a>). I'm having some issues with DTR/DSR/RTS/CTS checking and setting, but it would be great if someone else can check my findings. </p><p>See this link for more information on my tests and results: <a href="https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/porting-plptools-to-haiku/16849/7" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">discuss.haiku-os.org/t/porting</span><span class="invisible">-plptools-to-haiku/16849/7</span></a></p><p>Are you able to replicate what I'm seeing?</p>
The Last Psion | Alex<p>Current main projects:</p><ul><li><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/plptools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>plptools</span></a>: Resurrecting old ports (<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a>, <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a>) and working on a new port to <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/HaikuOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HaikuOS</span></a>. It's an opportunity to get more familiar with the code and maybe find bugs along the way.</li></ul><p>Upcoming projects:</p><ul><li><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CTRAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CTRAN</span></a>: Still haven't started writing unit tests. Also, complete a full write-up of what it took to get the thing working.</li><li>Get my website running <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/GoHugo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GoHugo</span></a>.</li><li>Rebuild of DEATH, my Microserver gen8, probably with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a>. (Yes, it's been over a year since DEATH's RAID died.)</li><li>Pick another SIBO SDK tool to rewrite. (Probably EMAKE or RCOMP.)</li><li>Add a 17V boost converter to <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/PsiDrive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PsiDrive</span></a>.</li><li>Make <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/fefstool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fefstool</span></a> create FEFS images. (I'm half-tempted to rewrite fefstool in Pascal to make it easier for me to finish.)</li></ul><p>You'll notice that some of these projects have been sitting for a while. I've struggled to get going with things this year. I'm hoping that working though plptools will give me some mental energy to get going with other things.</p>
