[comp.sys.ibm.pc] 16550A UART chip

dchou@NCoast.ORG (David Chou) (09/28/89)

Does anybody have a source for the 16550A UART (buffered 16 bytes) which
replaces the 16450 UARTS used in AT's which has been mentioned on the 
net?  Thanks in advance.

I bought mine from Jameco, I think for $19.95.  They advertise in Byte,
and probably a few others.

  I haven't seen any dos source, but on my bbs there is a unix driver
that takes advantage of the 16550 buffer. Maybe it will help to 
write a dos driver. Of coarse alot of dos com programs do there own 
setups which may disable the fifo.
