[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Data General Model 1

Hoping someone can help - DG are you reading?  I have a Data General 
Model One (stop snickering) laptop which requires the software to 
address, and thus correctly initialize the UART chip.  The only 
problem(s) is/are that to upgrade the versions of DOS, you have to buy 
them from DG.  Okay, so their mark-up is inflationary, the computer is 
obsolete and they will be no longer marketing the upgrades.  They will, 
however, sell me the Programmer's Reference for the obsolete machine 
for a mere $45.00. 
I was wondering if anyone knows how to write a new program or modify 
the system files to correctly initialize the UART chip.  Or, if someone 
has a copy of the Programmer's Reference could you forward the 
pertininent technical mumbo jumbo to me.  Sure would appreciate the 
help.
