#67404 - PC Serial Port
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Anything coming off the serial port of a PC is RS-232 and thus 8 bits (plus start and stop).


Not true.

The standard PC UART (16550 et al) supports many different word sizes, parity options, etc.
I'm not sure if 4-bits is actually one of them, but you certainly have more options than just 8 bits!
