Mr. Murphy has a permanent residence here. :)

Anyway, my assertion is based on the actual Color Basic ROM code. It 
sends exactly 8 bits per byte with no extras.

The serial routine does send a start bit and a stop bit. And it seems to 
also send a stop bit before the start bit. In this case, the stop bit 
would likely be measurably longer than the start bit since an idle RS232 
line is just one extended "stop" bit.
