Trying to figure out what 9 means to the escc - OpenBIOS

24 Feb 2016

With the below patch I can see that Mac OS 9.0 is having escc_mem_write() go to the SERIAL_CTRL case. Then to the W_CMD case. Then to the CMD_HI case. This then causes newreg to be set to the value 9. What I need to know is what is this value for. Does anyone know what it means?
Afterwords Mac OS 9.0 will write the value 0xc0 to the escc. This causes the escc to reset.
This pdf might be helpful for anyone who is interested in helping: http://www.zilog.com/docs/serial/scc_escc_um.pdf
