[NTLK] Easy Connection to Hackintosh

[Akasaka Ryuunosuke]

I did a build on GA-Z77-DS3H (the most common Hackintosh board) with a custom BIOS and apparently either some default driver or some of those I installed got the onboard serial hooked up to the OS. (I didn't install any driver specifically for serial).  I just had to connect a 10pin-header-to-DB9 backplate extracted from an old defunct 386 to the mainboard and screw it onto the case. That port now works fine with modems, flash programmers and Newts :-)

The OS is 10.9.5 and the software is NewTen-Intel.
