Hello:

There have recently been some discussions on the Arachne List and also
on the SURVPC List concerning the differences between the 16550 UART
and the 16550A.  I just happened to come accross some authoritative
information on the subject, and I just decided to pass it along.

"16550A: This is a replacement chip that fixes the bugs in the 16550
but is otherwise identical.  The 16550A (or the updated 16550AF or
16550AFN) is the chip of choice for modems that support data transfer
rates of 14,400 bps and up" -- Paul McFedries "Windows 95 Unleashed"
(Indianapolis, SAMS publishing, 1997), p.813.
