I don't have any problems with 0.99pl8 and my 16550A. But I recently
read over in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware that the difference between a
16550 and a 16550 is that the 16550 has a bug in the FIFO which can
cause repeated characters. So the question is: has anyone who knows
that they have a 16550A (and not a plain 16550) seen this repeated
character problem?
