▀ If the output device is busy, this function waits until the device is
ready to accept a character.
▀ There is no way to poll the status of the auxiliary device using this
function. On the IBM PC, more precise control can be obtained by cal-
ling ROM BIOS Int 14H or by driving the communications controller
directly.
▀ If a CTRL+C is detected at the keyboard, an Int 23H is executed.
▀ You can also send strings to the auxiliary device by performing a write
(Int 21H Function 40H) using the predefined handle for the standard
auxiliary device (0003H) or using a handle obtained by opening the
logical device AUX.
