#146806 - I don't think there's a "TX buffer" ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
... on a "vanilla" '51 UART.

I tried scouring the docs for a register which would be set when the TX buffer was empty. Is there such a thing for the '51?

Writes to SBUF end up directly in the shift register. At least that's how I read the diagram in the hardware section in the "bible". There's no 1-byte "buffer" (which I have seen on other chips, like Atmel AT91SAM7S, where you can actually write one byte and get a TXBUFE before the byte is sent out completely).
