From comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.* Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Q) 3.15 What is a 16550 and do I need one? The 16550 is a UART with two 16 byte FIFOs. [...] The 'normal' UART in the PC (the 8250 or 16450) only has 1-byte FIFOs. Grrr... Didn't realize that a 16450 was such a poor cousin to a 16550. Time to add to my upgrade shopping list. It's a wonder the silly thing was able to do UUCP at all. -- Scott Hazen Mueller | scott@zorch.SF-Bay.ORG or tandem!zorch!scott
