I have done further exploration and have a new proposal. I found that USB to serial port adapters are not standardized. So instead, what about adding NDIS to do USB tethering plus a tcpip stack to create a virtual modem that would allow you to do: ATDnews.eternal-september:119 Then I could

I have a new variation on this problem. I have a Chromebook with seabios loaded. But the Chromebook doesn't have a serial port. I could get a USB to com port adapter. But I would like seabios to drive this so that I can use int 14h in my os. Is that something that exists or could be added?

Hi Peter. Thanks for your reply. Sure. Implement a driver for that redirection which behaves as an int14h handler and place the address of its entry point at address :0080. (14h*4) The method works with any BIOS. I would like it to work with any OS that uses INT 14H (regardless of how

Hi Peter. Thanks for the great info. Ok, the main thing is I don't want my OS to have to load this, I want it loaded before the OS is loaded. I understood that, and an option ROM satisfies this. Ok, thanks for confirming. The bare board only needs power to run, everything is onboard.
