 * Notes. Here is the sort of output you can expect on your PC/Mac/Linux host
 * machine that is connected to the "pc" USB serial port.
 *
 *  *DMA* *DMA* *DMA* *DMA* *DMA* *DMA* *DMA* ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDE
 * FGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZA
 * BCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW
 * XYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRS
 * TUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNO
 * PQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJK
 * LMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFG
 * HIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQ Done. R
 *
 * Note how the DMA blocks the TX buffer sending under standard interrupt control.
 * Not until the DMA transfer is complete will "normal" buffered TX sending resume.
 *
 * Of interest is that last "R" character after the system has said "Done."
 * This comes from the fact that the TxEmpty callback is made when the TX buffer
 * becomes empty. MODSERIAL makes use of the fact that the Uarts built into the 
 * LPC17xx device use a 16 byte FIFO on both RX and TX channels. This means that
 * when the TxEmpty callback is made, the TX buffer is empty, but that just means
 * the "last few characters" were written to the TX FIFO. So although the TX
 * buffer has gone empty, the Uart's transmit system is still sending any remaining
 * characters from it's TX FIFO. If you want to be truely sure all the characters
 * you have sent have left the Mbed then call txIsBusy(); This function will
 * return true if characters are still being sent. If it returns false after
 * the Tx buffer is empty then all your characters have been sent.
 *
 * In a similar way, when characters are received into the RX FIFO, the entire
 * FIFO contents is moved to the RX buffer, assuming there is room left in the
 * RX buffer. If there is not, any remaining characters are left in the RX FIFO
 * and will be moved to the RX buffer on the next interrupt or when the running 
 * program removes a character(s) from the RX buffer with the getc() method.
