You have to rewrite that subfunction (ah=2) in asm and put it into bios.S, since it is not possible to do a waiting poll inside dosemu itself. The rest of int14 will stay where it is now, only the polling part must go into bios.S. We already have such a thing for the keyboard handling (the polling part is in bios.S, rest is in int16.c), so you have a place where to take a look. > (Is Mark Rejhon still involved?) No, but the serial code still gets some attention nevertheless (depends on what dosemu version you are using however).
