Is the 16550 UART supported by OS/2 1.2? I.e.is the FIFO buffer used by
the COM0x.SYS drivers? The IBM PS/2 machines have 16550's as the
standard UART (as far as I know). Windows 3.0 for example, does not
support the 16550 FIFO with its comm.drv driver.

(I'm writing a Windows app. which does heavy communication with 19200
baud in the background and we think about porting to OS/2 ...)
