MEM 0040h:0000h - BASE I/O ADDRESS OF FIRST SERIAL I/O PORTIBM PC Portable (uses same BIOS as XT)
Size:	WORD
Notes:	the BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware.  The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly. sets this word to zero if is unable to find any serial ports
	  at the addresses it is programmed to check at boot
	DOS and BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware.  The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly. serial device numbers may be redefined by re-assigning

Undocumented information tends to change -- often dramatically -- between successive revisions of a product, since the manufacturer has no obligation to maintain compatibility in behavior which is not explicitly stated.
