Stretching the memory, PCTools has HWInfo? Used to be some other standalone
thing I used, I think was sysinfo... but really struggling to remember what
now... 8250/16450s will usually identify the same, and are classed together,
16550s identify seperately.

The only other addendum I'd add, they're pretty rare but the original 16550s
are no better than 16450s. There's some kind of bug on the chip stopping the
use of the FIFOs. 16550a an and afn I think they are, are the go to chips.
