- oh yes it can.... I've seen people trying to sell the 16550 at this
- price. they get away with it because some people don't realize that
- they can get the same exact chip (the real National Semiconductor chip)
- for about $10 plus a couple dollars shipping.

- see above --- your guess is quite correct. I've seen the 16550 priced
- as low as $9, and the norm seems to be about $12.
