Hello-

I have a generic (made in Taiwan) multi I/O card.  It
has a printer port/clock calend/game/ and (I thought)
two serial ports.  I bought the card a couple of years
ago, and until recently had no need for the second 
serial port.  When I tried to hook my mouse to COM2,
I discovered that the card was missing a chip in the
socket marked COM2 :-(.

Does anyone know what this chip is?  (I think it might
be a UART)  What is the number of the chip?  Where can
I order it?

Thanks.
