The 1144 emulates a 16450. The 2144 ("Gold") emulates a 16550. I would
get the 1144 only if you plan to use DOS forever. With OS/2 or Windows the
extra $$ for the 2144 is well worth it. MSRP for the 2144 is something
like $275. Sparco had it for $245 about a month ago when I got mine.

Briefer: "Intelligence reports North Korea's new leader is erratic, overweight
and has a big hairdo. He wasn't in the military which may lessen
his sway with the armed forces. He's obsessed with women ..."
Clinton: "Lemme guess. He also plays the saxophone ..."
