[Coco] [Color Computer] 16550

[Boisy G. Pitre]

George,

The 16550 and 6551 are not compatible in terms of register layout and 
programming.  A new driver would need to be written to work with the 
16550.  Two such compatible ports will be on the SuperBoard, and I will 
be doing the driver work for them.
