I have a program written in Turbo pascal that I am trying to get working. The program interfaces via serial port to a programming coil that uses magnetic communication to interface with a device that is a hermetically sealed housing. Anyway... I'm told that the app will not work above 33mhz so I am attempting to use DosBox to solve this problem. I feel as if I am also having serial port issues. I have been reading up on this for about 5 hours now, and have tried about everything that has been listed. Attached is my log from the serial debug version of HAL's build. I would appriciate any help you all can give me on this.

Thanks!!!

I found a bug, don't know if it helps though.

Try this:

Please add 'dbgaux' to the serial debug config too.
If it doesn't work there's another chance.

Rock on, i believe it may be working now. I put it in the hands of some users, and I'll report back with our findings.

That user is sitting in the hermetically sealed housing?
Hope the serial port stuff isn't his last escape possibility.....
