NS16550 chips with FAS

[Eric Varsanyi]

I have been calling around trying to find someone who will sell me some
NS16550's (the 8250a replacement async chip) and have not had much
luck. Hamilton Avnet and Bell Industries have at least heard of it
but all they have are parts suffixed with AFV. They throught this
meant that it was a square SMD package (vs the 40 pin DIP).

A call to National Semi didn't help, they cannot find a data sheet
for this part to get the right suffix for the 40 pin package. They
did tell me that in their database the part was listed as obsoleted
(she couldn't say by what though).

While I wait for a National Semi application engineer to call me back perhaps
someone could post:

	1) Who's sells these things?
	2) How much?
	3) What is the full part number (NS16550AN)?

Thanks.
