AH = 00h AL = port parameters (see #00300) DX = port number (00h-03h) (04h-43h for Digiboard XAPCM232.SYS)
Return:
AH = line status (see #00304) FFh if error on Digiboard XAPCM232.SYS AL = modem status (see #00305)
Notes: Default handler is at F000h:E739h in IBM PC and 100% compatible BIOSes. Since the PCjr supports a maximum of 4800 bps, attempting to set 9600 bps will result in 4800 bps. Various network and serial-port drivers support the standard BIOS functions with interrupt-driven I/O instead of the BIOS's polled I/O. The 1993/04/08 Compaq system ROM uses only the low two bits of DX. The default setting used by DOS (MS-DOS 6, DR-DOS 7.03, PTS-DOS) when (re-)initializing the serial devices is AL=A3h (2400 bps, no parity, 1 stop bit, 8 data bits).

Bitfields for serial port parameters: Bit(s) Description (Table 00300) 7-5 data rate (110,150,300,600,1200,2400,4800,9600 bps) 4-3 parity (00 or 10 = none, 01 = odd, 11 = even) 2 stop bits (set = 2, clear = 1) 1-0 data bits (00 = 5, 01 = 6, 10 = 7, 11 = 8)
