SIO Command Open ($4F) ['O']

This is a command for Devices $71-$78 - The N: Device (see SIO-Commands-for-Device-IDs-$71-to-$78).

Description

Given a devicespec in the returned 256 byte buffer, parse it, and if valid, instantiate the protocol, and prepare the Atari to be able to send/receive an I/O channel for the chosen protocol.

If a devicespec is invalid, then an ERROR 165 is returned on the subsequent STATUS command (while returning an SIO ERROR 144, indicating that you should check the STATUS).

Parameters

ADAM

Parameters

• Device 09 to 0C
• Use AdamNET Write (EOS WRITE CHARACTER DEVICE)

Return Values

• $80 - ACK. Open successful
• $8C - NAK - Open not successful, read status byte.
