        Why are these UARTs so popular it seems, that I see them mentioned all
ofer the place for people looking for them for their pc's?
I'm going to be hacking up a couple serial ports into my machine, and was
wondering what they offer over the 8250 that is standard?
I've seen them offered by a couple mail order places, so that isn't really a
problem getting them, (as it seems nobody else can find them..)
