BASIC TEST PROGRAM WITH ADVANTAGE GAME PORT
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Basic program that is included in section seven of the AST Advantage
|
|
User's Manual may operate differently in the IBM AT (or compatible)
|
|
than it does in an IBM PC/XT (or compatible).
|
|
|
|
The range of values that are printed on the screen when executing the
|
|
program on the AT for the values of "X" and "Y" may be one-and-one half
|
|
times those returned when the program is executed on the XT.
|
|
|
|
Through testing with the IBM XT and AT, it has been determined that
|
|
the way the hardware operates is the same in both types of machines.
|
|
|
|
The discrepancy is in the way the BASICA "STICK" function interprets the
|
|
data when the program is being executed on the AT. Since this program
|
|
is just an indication that the game port is recognized by the system,
|
|
these apparent discrepancies should not be interpreted as a problem
|
|
with the game port itself.
