#137093 - refreshing serial data
me in my serial port ;)

Someone was right about me having the ability to add more instructions in a serial port routine without losing characters. The manual I read was NOT clear about it!

Now I am really progressing in my code, but I have one question.

When my 8051 micro receives data from the PC, I have it store data in external RAM in sequential order.

If I wait for a particular string to come, and it comes after the RAM is full of data, then I could end up in trouble, because then I have to clear the ram, and by the time I try to clear the first byte, I might run out of machine cycles before the serial interrupt is called.

Just how many machine cycles do I have when I use serial mode 2?

AND, if there is a much easier way to compare a string from the serial port, then I will be happy to hear about it.
