Terminal Does Not Accept Eight Data Bits and Odd Parity

ID: Q78805

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

Page 339 of the "Microsoft Window User's Guide" states that when using the kermit protocol and eight data bits, parity can be specified as even, odd, or none.

By definition, parity is the eighth bit. If eight data bits are specified, parity cannot be specified (odd, even, mark or space). This is the definition and is supported in the serial chip (Intel 8250).

Terminal simply supports the available communications protocols, which are unrelated to the download protocol chosen (Xmodem, Kermit, ASCII, and so on).
