Port 3F8 - Transmit/Receive buffer or baud rate divisor LSB
This port is normaly used as transmit/receive buffer for
serial communication. When port 3FB, bit 7 is 0, all characters
written to this port is send to remote. If the transmit-register-
empty-interrupt has been enabled, an interrupt 0C is generated when
the port is able to receive another character (=when the
previos character was send).
When this port is read, it returns the last character re-
ceived. If the data-available-interrupt has been enabled,
an interrupt 0C is generated when a character is received.
If port 3FB, bit 7=1, a write to this port is used to set
the LSB of the baud-rate divisor.
Read: Receive Buffer
Write: 3FB, bit 7 = 0: Transmit buffer
= 1: Baud rate divisor LSB (see 3FB)
