- What is the difference between the different Uart chips? I have used 8250
- in AT & 386 computers with no problems. When is it that one needs the
- 14550 or the 16550 ? What are all the different serial port chips?
- There is the 8250, 8250A, 8250B, 82450, 14550, 16550 ! and more. What's
- the advantage or disabilities of these different chips?
