I don't think so. One of the features of the above UART is that it could
be hardwired into whatever configuration your needed. Most up to date
UARTS (such as the 16450) use CPU programmed registers for setup. Call
Jameco, JDR, Mouser, DigiKey, Unicorn, B.G. Micro and other electronic 
supply places because you may still be able to get that part. DigiKey
can be reached at 1-800-DIGI-KEY. The other always have adds in magazines
such as Byte, Circuit Cellar INK, ComputerCraft and Radio Electronics.
