Its very necessary. An absolute life saver when debugging device drivers, and
programs that use the display of the PC being worked on, (If you want to see
the debugger on PM and debug the message thread of the application). Its not
the most wonderful debugger in the wold, but quite powerful in its own respect,
and also robust! (Watcom's wvideo dies at the drop of a hat sometimes, though
not as much as Borlands Turbo Debugger).
 
Oh yeah. Use COM2. I could never get my PC booted when trying to use COM1, so I
moved the mouse from COM2 -> COM1, and moved the debugger to COM2 (The COM1
option is only mentioned for the PM debugger part of the kernel debugger, so
not really sure if COM1 is workable at all if you have 2 COM ports).
