   FIX16550 will fix problems with AMI BIOSes and 16550 ("hi-speed/buffered") UARTS.  As an added benefit, the program also  happens to permit (usually much older) computers which only recognize COM1: and  COM2: to automatically recognize COM3: and COM4: if they are present. This driver will scan the serial ports when it is loaded and will add any ports not detected by the power up sequence of the BIOS. This driver takes no memory, but must be run from CONFIG.SYS

To Run, Enter: Place DEVICE=C:\FIX16550.SYS in CONFIG.SYS file.
