DG>Replying to a message of Tim Hutzler to Benjamin L Mcgee:
TH>What you are describing is a FIFO, or queue. They both work
TH>the same in that the first element in will be the first
TH>element out. Since you mentioned the word, "buffer", then I
TH>will presume that you are thinking of a FIFO stack.
DG>You mean "LIFO stack"
No, I should have stated FIFO, period. [grin]
TH>Also, when you stated. "Any data that could not fit in the buffer
TH>would fall off the top." Are you saying that (overflow) data will
TH>be lost? I don't think you want that, but I need to ask.
DG>That is how a UART operates :)
That may be how UART, but IART different... [grin]
