General question: can the old 8250 serial I/O chips be replaced by
16550A's for use under System V/386 with the FAS drivers?

Specific question:  I have an old Bell Tech HUB6 6-SIO port board that
I'd like to use under SCO Unix 3.2 (really ODT).  SCO won't have a
driver for some time, so I'd like (if possible) to replace the current
8250's with 16550A's and use the FAS driver.  Does this sound
reasonable?
