For those thinking that 16450's aren't good enough,
I've found something new:

SMC FDC37C665

- 765 compatible FDC, able to r/w 2.88 MB floppys
- Two 16550 UARTS with 16byte send/rec. fifo
- bidirectional parallel port.
- IDE Interface
- comes in a 100pin QFP Package.

Price is around $23 in low quantities (1...10)

What do you think about ?

Andy

   What is giving everyone the illusion that we've got SERIAL dot-matrix
   printers?

Maybe the fact that I have one hooked up to my current system at home.
