For reasons too long to go into here, I'm using a serial port board on
a PC/AT which supports the RS-422 as well as RS-232 protocol.  The
board was failing to keep up at 38.4Kbaud withouth flow control (which
I can't provide) in RS-422 mode, which it shouldn't do.  A call to the
manufacturer's tech support netted a promise to send me a 16450, which
is claimed to be a faster pin-compatible version of the 8250.  Is this
legit?  Would this switch help the Amiga out at all in terms of its
serial port speed?
