0:47Ch                   Time-Out Values for RS-232 Communications Lines

 Length: 4 bytes

    These bytes are used to test when the RS-232 Communications lines will
    time-out.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These bytes are used to test when the RS-232 Communications lines will
    time-out. These values are usually 01h. On the PC and XT, these values
    tend to represent the number of seconds before a time-out. On other
    machines, such as the AT, these values are still 01h, but in the time-
    out test, these values are multiplied by 4 to compensate for the
    increased speed of the AT. However, the actual number of seconds
    before a time-out situation is about twice the time-out values stored
    here. In any case, these values should NOT be looked on as the number
    of seconds before a time-out, but instead should represent the amount
    of time needed to detect a time-out situation.
