Replay to "--a" about 8 bit ASCII.
Or I misunderstand what you say, or something is wrong on that. Using 7-bit
you can produce only 128 chars, not 256. In ancient computers the seventh
bit was used only for parity check in text transmissions. Today also, in
fact, you can set the serial port to be "8 bit no parity" or "7 bit +
parity" (odd or even).
