This program will test the functions of any type of UART that is found in
the IBM PC, AT, or compatible machines at standard port addresses.
The program will prompt the user to select the port address, COM1 - COM8.
The program will attempt to identify what type of UART is present at the
selected address. Once the port type is determined, the program will test
the appropriate device functions. The test is completely self-contained,
and makes use of the internal loop-back diagnostic feature of the UART.
The program accesses the following modules:

int port_id() - this function returns a value for port type.
0, port_id unsuccessful
1, type = INS8250, INS8250-B
2, type = INS8250A, NS16450
3, type = NS16550A
4, type = NS16C552

int rwt8250() - tests register read/write functions of the 8250 type device.

int rwt450() - tests read/write functions of the 8250A, 16450, or 16550A.

int i450() - internal loopback diagnostic for all types.

int ififo() - tests FIFO-mode functions of the NS16550A type UART.

int 552afr() - tests 16C552 Alternate Function Register Concurrent Writes

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
