 This example shows two serial ports.
-The first is on IRQ4, port address `0x3f8`, and has a 16550A-type UART chip.
+The first is on IRQ4, port address `0x3f8`, and has a 16550-type UART chip.
 The second uses the same kind of chip but is on IRQ3 and is at port address `0x2f8`.
 Internal modem cards are treated just like serial ports, except that they always have a modem attached to the port.
