Don't know much of the old days, but we had some real new hardware, that
needed not 7, not 8, but _9_ data bits and a stop bit. I simulated the
9th bit successfully by switching on parity mode and setting the parity
to even or odd. The parity bit "simulates" or better represents the 9th
data bit.
That means: Calculate the parity of the 8 data bits (even/odd), and if
the 9th data bit has to be one, set the parity to match the
8-bit-parity.
Otherwise vice versa. Um, table:

data bit parity | 9th bit value | parity setting
------------------------------------------------
      even      |       1       |    even
      even      |       0       |    odd
      odd       |       1       |    odd
      odd       |       0       |    even

Maybe you can achieve something similar. E.g. use 8 bit, parity and a
stop
bit.
Fun,
