(32 byte FIFO ^ ^ instead of the 16 byte fifo in the 16550). I don't think the operating system cares what UART it uses (or does anything different from a programming point of view), but I could be wrong. -- Mark O'Lear \ e-mail: Mark.Olear@Colorado.EDU University of Colorado \ phone: (303) 492-3798 Telecomm.
