- I have a Supra 14.4 external modem with a 486 computer. I am having problems
- receiving files because of so many "BAD CRC" problems. I think it is
- because I have an old UART 16450 chip and I want to upgrade to a UART 16550.
- My question is how do I know if a new card has the 16550. I don't think all
- the serial cards come right out and say UART 16550 on them. Some of the
- all-in-one cards have one bigger chip for UART. So can I have the
- capabilities of the UART 16550 in another chip? What do I have to look
- for on the serial card?
-
- I would appreciate any help.
