To get access to the hardware in Windows, one must usually go through HAL with a device driver.

However, from the command prompt I believe you can output simply COM1
I have my doubts that you'll be able to capture any data in thought.

With Windows, you don't get direct low-level access to hardware. You have to conference in HAL 1st.

Portmon from the company formerly known as Sysinternals is a useful tool for this purpose.
