             INT 14,0 - Initialize Communications Port Parameters

       AH = 00
       AL = parms for initialization (see tables below)
       DX = zero based serial port number (0-1) (0-3 for AT)

       │7│6│5│4│3│2│1│0│  AL                      Parity (bits 4 & 3)
        │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┴──── word length bits          00 = none
        │ │ │ │ │ └─────── stop bits flag             01 = odd
        │ │ │ └─┴──────── parity bits                 10 = none
        └─┴─┴─────────── baud rate bits               11 = even

       Word length (bits 1 & 0)            Stop bit count (bit 2)

          10 = 7 bits                        0 = 1 stop bit
          11 = 8 bits                        1 = 2 stop bits

       Baud rate (bits 7, 6 & 5)

       000 = 110 baud      100 = 1200 baud
       001 = 150 baud      101 = 2400 baud
       010 = 300 baud      110 = 4800 baud
       011 = 600 baud      111 = 9600 baud (4800 on PCjr)


       on return:
       AH = port status
       AL = modem status


       - for status bits see INT 14,STATUS
