- Boca internal modem does not have a 16550 chip. It has only support for
- 16450. I found this out after buying one just two months ago. I called
- their tech support who confirmed this. Since it does not have a 16450
- chip but only supports it you cannot even drop replace the chip. I
- exchanged mine for an external and put a 16550AFN chip on my serial
- card.
