It sounds like are very close in you're attempt.  Make sure to add a
Latin_1.NUL to the end of the serial port name.

  hCom := WinBase.CreateFile( Win32.Addr( "COM2" & Latin_1.NUL),
                              Win32.DWORD'( WinNT.GENERIC_READ ) OR
Win32.DWORD'( WinNT.GENERIC_WRITE ),
                              0,                     -- comm devices must be
opened w/exclusive access
                              NULL,                  -- no security exists
                              WinBase.OPEN_EXISTING, -- comm devices must be
OPEN_EXISTING
                              0,                     -- non overlapped I/O
                              NULL );                -- hTemplate must be
NULL for comm devices
