Hello, Carlos, and welcome to the XyWrite list!

In order to help, we will need more information about what you want to
do (which peripheral, etc.).

In the meantime, this excerpt from the vDos FAQ may help:
<https://www.vdos.info/faqs.html>

By default, writing to LPTx/COMx ports (DOS, BIOS or direct hardware)
is considered to be a printing task.

If COMx however is supposed to access some serial device; use the
COMx = "COMy": directive in config.txt. Mind the trailing colon, it is
mandatory. You also have to initialize the (Windows) COMy device before
starting vDos. By the MODE COMy command, or the device manager.
