- I have seen a utility being sold with some serial cards with
- the 16550a uart chip that must be used to turn the FIFO
- buffer on or off. I didn't get a card from the co. that sells
- the card with the utility and was woundering if I deeded this
- program to turn my 16550A on and off???? If I do need it then
- why is there only one co. out there that I know of that is supplying
- this utility? Do all 16550A uarts on anybodys cards need a util.
- to turn the buffers on and off or is it just that co. that
- is making that one card that is in need of the utility???
