	I may meet a relevent problem on the damed BIOS too on a AT&T 6300.
I used "bioscom" in Turbo C2.0 to talk to HP ColorPro Plotter. It takes a
second or so to get status from RS232 and about the same time to read the
Plotter's response. The command send to the Plotter seems to work OK. I used
Turbo BASIC to do the same thing without any porblem. Turbo BASIC must have
its own routine bypassing the BIOS. Does anyone has any suggestion?

Thank you in advance.
