<p>Writing to this register starts transmit (if, or as soon as, TXEN=1 and CTS=on
and SIO_STAT.2=Ready). Writing to this register while SIO_STAT.0=Busy causes
the old value to be overwritten.<br/>
The "TXEN=1" condition is a bit more complex: Writing to SIO_TX_DATA latches
the current TXEN value, and the transfer DOES start if the current TXEN value
OR the latched TXEN value is set (ie. if TXEN gets cleared after writing to
SIO_TX_DATA, then the transfer may STILL start if the old latched TXEN value
was set; this appears for SIO transfers in Wipeout 2097).<br/></p>

<h4 id="1f80105ch-sio_misc-rw">1F80105Ch SIO_MISC (R/W)</h4>
<p>This is an internal register, which usually shouldn't be accessed by software.
Messing with it has rather strange effects: After writing a value "X" to this
register, reading returns "X ROR 8" eventually "ANDed with 1F1Fh and ORed with
C0C0h or 8080h" (depending on the character length in SIO_MODE).<br/></p>
<h4 id="1f80105eh-sio_baud-rw-eg-00dch-9600-bauds-when-factormul16">1F80105Eh SIO_BAUD (R/W) (eg. 00DCh --&gt; 9600 bauds; when Factor=MUL16)</h4>
<pre><code> 0-15 Baudrate Reload value for decrementing Baudrate Timer
</code></pre>
<p>The Baudrate is calculated (based on SIO_BAUD, and on Factor in SIO_MODE):<br/></p>
<pre><code> BitsPerSecond = (44100Hz*300h) / MIN(((Reload*Factor) AND NOT 1),Factor)
</code></pre>
<h4 id="sio_tx_data-notes">SIO_TX_DATA Notes</h4>
<p>The hardware can hold (almost) 2 bytes in the TX direction (one being currently
transferred, and, once when the start bit was sent, another byte can be stored
in SIO_TX_DATA). When writing to SIO_TX_DATA, both SIO_STAT.0 and SIO_STAT.2
become zero. As soon as the transfer starts, SIO_STAT.0 becomes set (indicating
that one can write a new byte to SIO_TX_DATA; although the transmission is
still busy). As soon as the transfer of the most recently written byte ends,
SIO_STAT.2 becomes set.<br/></p>
<h4 id="sio_rx_data-notes">SIO_RX_DATA Notes</h4>
<p>The hardware can hold 8 bytes in the RX direction (when receiving further
byte(s) while the RX FIFO is full, then the last FIFO entry will by overwritten
by the new byte, and SIO_STAT.4 gets set; the hardware does NOT automatically
disable RTS when the FIFO becomes full).<br/>
Data can be read from SIO_RX_DATA when SIO_STAT.1 is set, that flag gets
automatically cleared after reading from SIO_RX_DATA (unless there are still
further bytes in the RX FIFO). Note: The hardware does always store incoming
data in RX FIFO (even when Parity or Stop bits are invalid).<br/>
Note: A 16bit read allows to read two FIFO entries at once; nethertheless, it
removes only ONE entry from the FIFO. On the contrary, a 32bit read DOES remove
FOUR entries (although, there's nothing that'd indicate if the FIFO did
actually contain four entries).<br/>
Reading from Empty RX FIFO returns either the most recently received byte or
zero (the hardware stores incoming data in ALL unused FIFO entries; eg. if five
entries are used, then the data gets stored thrice, after reading 6 bytes, the
FIFO empty flag gets set, but nethertheless, the last byte can be read two more
times, but doing further reads returns 00h).<br/></p>
<h4 id="interrupt-acknowledge-notes">Interrupt Acknowledge Notes</h4>
<p>First reset I_STAT.8, then set SIO.CTRL.4 (when doing it vice-versa, the
hardware may miss a new IRQ which may occur immediately after setting
SIO.CTRL.4) (and I_STAT.8 is edge triggered, so that bit can be reset even
while SIO_STAT.9 is still set).<br/>
When acknowledging via SIO_CTRL.4 with the enabled condition(s) in
SIO_CTRL.10-12 still being true (eg. the RX FIFO is still not empty): the IRQ
does trigger again (almost) immediately (it goes off only for a very short
moment; barely enough to allow I_STAT.8 to sense a edge).<br/></p>
<h4 id="sio_baud-notes">SIO_BAUD Notes</h4>
<p>Timer reload occurs when writing to SIO_BAUD, and, automatically when the
Baudrate Timer reaches zero. There should be two 16bit SIO timers (for TX and
RX), the upper 15bit of one of that timers can be read from SIO_STAT (not sure
which one, and no idea if there's a way to read the other timer, too).<br/>
Or... maybe there is only ONE timer, and RX/TX are separated only by separate
"timer ellapsed" counters, in that case the MUL1 factor won't work properly,
but, with the MUL16 or MUL64 factors, RX could start anytime (eg. when TX has
already ellapsed a bunch of times)...?<br/>
The maximum baud rate may vary depending on the length and quality of the
cable, whether and how many inverters and anti-inverters are used (on the
mainboard and in external adaptor, and on whether signals are externally
converted to +/-12V levels)... anyways, rates up to 9600 baud should be working
in all cases.<br/>
However, running in no$psx, Wipeout 2097 seems to use about 2 million bauds...
although, in older no$psx versions, I believe I did see it using some kind of
baudrate detection, where it did try different rates in steps of 200 bauds or
so...?<br/></p>
<h4 id="sio-ports-vs-joy-ports">SIO Ports vs JOY Ports</h4>
<p>SIO uses I/O Addresses 1F801050h..1F80105Fh, which seem to be organized similar
to the Controller/Memory Card registers at 1F801040h..1F80104Fh, though not
identical, and with an additional register at 1F80105Ch, which has no
corresponding port at 1F80104Ch.<br/>
SIO_BAUD is \&lt;effectively&gt; same as for JOY_BAUD, but, \&lt;internally&gt;
they are a bit different:<br/></p>
<pre><code> JOY_BAUD is multiplied by Factor, and does then ellapse "2" times per bit.
SIO_BAUD is NOT multiplied, and, instead, ellapses "2*Factor" times per bit.
</code></pre>
<p>Unlike for the Controller/Memory Card ports, the data is transferred without
CLK signal, instead, it's using RS232 format, ie. the transfer starts with a
start bit, and is then transferred at a specific baudrate (which must be
configured identically at the receiver side). For RS232, data is usually 8bit,
and may optionally end with a parity bit, and one or two stop bits.<br/></p>

<a href="../pinouts/#pinouts-sio-pinouts">Pinouts - SIO Pinouts</a><br/>
Aside from the internal SIO port, the PSX BIOS supports two additional external
serial ports, connected to the expansion port,<br/>

<h4 id="sio-games">SIO Games</h4>
<p>The SIO ports on two consoles can be connected with an SCPH-1040 Link Cable (known as Taisen Cable, or "Fight Cable" in Japan) for multiplayer functionality on games that support this method. This was used by a small number of games in the console's lifecycle, but inconveniently required a second console and copy of the game.</p>

<p>The serial port is used (for 2-player link) by Wipeout 2097 (that game
accidently assumes BAUDs based on 64*1024*1025 Hz rather than on 600h*44100
Hz).<br/>
Ridge Racer Revolution is also said to support 2P link.<br/>
Keitai Eddy seems to allow to connect a mobile phone to the SIO port (the games
CD cover suggests so; this seems to be something different than the "normal"
I-Mode adaptor, which would connect to controller port, not to SIO port).<br/></p>
<h4 id="8251a-note">8251A Note</h4>
<p>The Playstation Serial Port is apparently based/inspired on the Intel 8251A
USART chip; which has very similar 8bit Mode/Command/Status registers.<br/></p>
