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.
