- 16550 - A TPBoard utility for toggling the 16550's FIFO buffer
-
- USAGE: 16550 [1-4] [on/off/?]
-
- Where '1' thru '4' is the COM port, 'on' or 'off' will toggle
- the FIFO buffer's state, and '?' will show it's status. Turning
- the buffered mode on is guaranteed to lock up your system if you
- are using OpusCom, and may cause problems with other programs.
- It WILL work with X00 version 1.09b, TPBoard, and ProComm Plus.

- Toad Hall Tweak, 19 Apr 90
- Removed "Turbo Professional" compile requirements,
- other tweaks.
- No functional changes.
-
- v1.3, 29 Mar 91
- Finally found some code (on the FIDO Assembly Language echo)
- to identify 16550-family UARTs.
- Threw in a new function so we only go fiddling FIFO buffers of the
- 16550 UART. (Does a 16450 have a FIFO buffer?)
-
- Sorry, no way to test this myself, being the owner of a mere 8250.
- (Well, it *does* identify that 8250 anyway!)
