Command 0 (Null). The Null command has no effect. Normally the null

command instructs the Z80 SIO to wait while the pointers are set for the

following byte.

Command 1 (Send Abort). This command is used only in SDLC mode to

generate a sequence of eight to thirteen 1s.

Command 2 (Reset External/Status Interrupts). After an External/Status

interrupt, such as a change on a modem line or a break condition, the status

bits of RR0 are latched. This command re-enables them, again allowing

Interrupts to occur. Latching the status bits captures short pulses until the

CPU has time to read the change.

Command 3 (Channel Reset). This command performs the same function

as an External Reset, but on a single channel. Channel A Reset also resets

the interrupt prioritization logic. All control registers for the channel must

be rewritten after a Channel Reset command.

After a Z80 SIO Channel Reset, add four system clock cycles before addi-

tional commands or controls write to that channel. This is normally the

same amount of time that is used by the CPU to fetch the next Op Code.
