   Borax Man is lucky indeed!   
      
   I first had to implement this stuff in 1982, writing the interrupt   
   handler code inside DEBUG.COM and then copy the generated bytes into my   
   mainline (Modula2) program.   
      
   I repeated that exact process a year or two later with Turbo Pascal 1.0.   
      
   Having a proper 16-byte buffered uart makes it all much simpler!
