The PACESETTER

much the same way as described in Mode 2. However, the host
software must be capable of receiving the extra data being sent to it.

Plus
information is sent as trailer information. With IBM communications,
PACESETTER
Plus
information is sent as header information that is
located between the last Status byte and the first tag data byte in the
message. The PACESETTER
