I worked on porting a comm program to the Hyperion when they first
came out.  They are not really IBM compatible.  For example, the
comm ports use a different chip than the PC.  There is a token
attempt at BIOS level compatibility, but it's not up to today's
clone standards at all.  There's even a Z80 in there for something,
I assume an I/O contoller.
