That was not the problem. It failed with a big windows thing saying it 
would not find the COM1 and then the programmed died.

The trouble here was that COM1 was "felt" by the OS to be used for 
something else. Very strange. I had to force COM2 to become COM1 to 
solve it. /2 did not help as it actually was COM1 in hardware.

I found them by tossing random commands at it... fairly quickly.

My remaining problem is to get it to run in graphical mode.
