Sorry, I don't want to appear to nit pick but there is a significant
difference between the NS16550 and the NS16550A.  I know that Steve
meant the 550A but there are still some old 550's around and they are
quite different.

Most notably the 550 doesn't work whereas the 550A does.  Like I said,
I'm not beating Steve over the head but it is important that everyone
clearly understand the distinction, even though we know what he meant.
