Under DOS and Win 9X to send output to a COM port is not different than to write onto an ordinary file. So to copy a file, binary or text, to COM1 use the DOS command Copy FileName COM1. The same using any programming language. The standard ports may be treated as destination files.

G'day,
Just how do you intend to wire this up?? 1)Do you have a serial link to a controller, which then controls the motor? ie proper RS232 connection. 2) Are you wiring directly to the com port? If you are you will need to control the UART directly.
If you can, give us a better picture of what you are trying to do. regards, Elric
