Hardware > sync serial port double buffered?

#3011 - ampz - Sun Feb 16, 2003 12:05 pm

Reading the GBATEK document it sounds like the syncronous serial com modes (aka. "normal mode") are not double buffered... That's odd. Most syncrounous serial ports are double buffered in order to support back-to-back transmissions without the need for exotic and/or awkward handshaking.

Can anyone shed some light on this subject?
