The RS232 port has been moved out of the ie15 device. It is only needed in
stand alone operation, and not when connected to the rs232 bus, it was odd
leaving it in there, odd to still have an rs232 port slot option when running
stand alone.
The IE15 UART implementation has been removed from the rs232 bus code and back
into the ie15 device code. This leaves the rs232 bus code dealing with only
serial data, and not the parallel data, and that should make it easier in
future to have a common interface to RS232 terminals.

boots and runs, but no sound, seems to need an additional device at 410f emulating which may or may not be sound related, waits for a long time for it to finish sending streams of data there. if you wait long enough controls do actually work as it appears the 'motion' control here just simulates a button press. As pointed out, this seems to be an updated version of Gameinis' Ping Pong with improved gfx etc.

At least some of these are required for operation with terminals. For example
the SWTPC 8212 terminal uses DTR to CTS for hardware flow control, and that is
needed even at 9600 baud.
The code notes that reading the iir register "will clear the int if
this is the source of the int" and the code cleared a pending THRE
interrupt if it was *pending*. This causes a lost THRE interrupt for
the SWTPC 8121 terminal firmware and this locks up the TX side of the
terminal. This occurred regularly when the ISR read this register upon
a higher priority RX pending interrupt. The documented operation has
been reinterpreted as only clearly the THRE interrupt if THRE is the
highest priority interrupt and so is the pending interrupt *causing*
the interrupt. This fixes that lost THRE interrupt for the SWTPC 8121
terminal.
