Simply put, the bridgeboard can't access the serial interface
circuitry of the Amiga side. So you will have to purchase a
serial board to plug into one of the PC slots. Please notice
one limitation: DO NOT USE COM2! The I/O addresses and interrupts
for COM2 are used for the Bridgeboard/Amiga commucincation.
Those interface boards are VERY cheap today, btw.
