An overview over the Plus/4 runtime system as it is implemented for the cc65 C
available drivers, and any pitfalls specific to that platform.
Please note that Plus/4 specific functions are just mentioned here, they are
-described in detail in the separate <htmlurl url="funcref.html" name="function
+described in detail in the separate <url url="funcref.html" name="function
reference">. Even functions marked as "platform dependent" may be available on
more than one platform. Please see the function reference for more
information.
Since the Plus/4 and the Commodore 16/116 are almost identical (the latter are
-missing the 6551 ACIA and do only have 16KB of memory), the <htmlurl
+missing the 6551 ACIA and do only have 16KB of memory), the <url
url="c16.html" name="C16 documentation"> is also worth a look. The difference
between both cc65 targets is that the Plus/4 runtime uses banking to support
full 64K RAM, while the C16 does not use banking and supports up to 32K RAM.

Some functions are available for all (or at least most) of the Commodore
-machines. See the <htmlurl url="funcref.html" name="function reference"> for

declaration and usage.

Driver for the 6551 ACIA chip built into the Plus/4. Supports up to 19200
baud, hardware flow control (RTS/CTS) and interrupt driven receives. Note
that because of the peculiarities of the 6551 chip transmits are not
interrupt handlers. Such routines must be written as simple machine language
subroutines and will be called automatically by the interrupt handler code
when they are linked into a program. See the discussion of the <tt/.CONDES/
-feature in the <htmlurl url="ca65.html" name="assembler manual">.
