The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Windows version 3.0 does not support the advanced first-in-first-
out (FIFO) buffer feature of the 16550 and 16550A Universal Asynchronous
Receiver Transmitter (UART). It does support the 16550 and 16550A as a
standard 8250 UART.
The 8250 UART has been the primary micro-circuitry for communication ports
in IBM-compatible machines. If the computer's communication port is using
the 16550 or 16550A, you should disable the FIFO buffer.
Refer to your hardware documentation or contact your manufacturer for
assistance in disabling the FIFO buffer.
