Software Handshake.
XON/XOFF handshaking is disabled, XON is 17, XOFF is
19, should software handshaking be turned on.
Buffer Size.
Buffers are 256 bytes long.
Buffer Number.
The maximum number of pairs of buffers is 6 (that is up
to six ports can use interrupt driven buffered i/o).
Baud rate etc.
All ports recognised by the ROM BIOS are reset to 2400
Baud, no parity, 8 data bits and one stop bit when the
machine is powered up.
All ports whose address is set in the config.sys file are
also set to 2400 baud, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.
The other ports, not recognised by Serial Solutions at boot
time, are reset by the PC’s hardware at power up to no
parity, 5 data bits and one stop bit.
Buffer enabling.
When the machine is rebooted the buffers for all ports
whose address has been found by the BIOS or set in the
config.sys file are allocated. This is up to the limit set by
the /B command.
