- It probably works, but it is no longer necessary. OS/2 2.0 (and 1.3
- as well, I think) support the 16550A(F)N UART directly. OS/2 2.0 also
- lifts the maximum bps rate allowed by MODE (from 19200 to 57600), so
- that driver isn't even necessary for high speed modems.
-
- Technically, COM16550.ZIP belongs in /pub/os2/all, but, practically,
- it really should go to /pub/os2/1.x.
