Today I got a "part status end of life" notification from Digikey that Exar
will no longer be making their DIP 16550 and I remembered this discussion.
There's 77 new DIP uarts left in stock at Digikey as of right now... There
are other UART manufacturers, and after they're gone, they'll be pulls, but
in the long run...
