- Hi, I just found an old machine lying around the place that has a dual
- serial card in it with a 16450 chip driving them both.
-
- Now, I know that a 16550 is useful because it has buffers and shit,
- but does a 16450 have anything similar?
-
- I'll probably chuck it into my machine anyway (once I work out how to
- set up all four serial ports together under Windows) but would like to
- know a little more about it first.
-
- Thanks.
