	I better choice may be to use _bios_serialcom() which
	allows you to set all the standard RS232 parameters.
	Of course, the port is not interrupt driven so your
	program had better set up interrupts or be extremely
	quick to catch all incoming characters.  If you aren't
	fast enough, all you will get is the last character 
	received. (usually just a LF or something like that)

	An easier way to use COM1 for communication is to buy
	a serial COM package that works with MSC.  I use one
	from GreenLeaf Software.  It does what I need and I
	believe it cost ~$200 U.S.
