The only hardware buffers are within the 16550 compatible UART.  2 bytes max - Receiver Shift Register and the Receiver Buffer Register.

The app that opens the COM port allocates Rx buffer then pass the pointer to the buffer in the call.

I relayed the information Hiro provided and customer responded with the following: I am writing both ends of the serial communication. What I found was that it didn’t appear to make a difference how large I set my input and/or output buffers on either end when I step through the code the MC9060 is receiving at most 1553 bytes at a time.  I was wondering if there was a hardware buffer that is limiting how many bytes can be transferred at a time Is anyone aware of a hardware limitation on terminal or cradle?
