Yes, but you may/must  consider to use the real hardware serial port on 
the F628.
Look at the jallist, someone will have a compatible hardware library 
(I've written one too, but it uses microchip inc-files instead of jpic, 
so it's somewhat more complicated for you).
Also the other libraries will give no problem, because as you said F628 
is upwards compatible and JAL uses only the first RAM bank.

Yes
