Yes, and it also came with DOS 6.x and on the CDROM Disc of Win9x.

Another way to find out, if running Win9x,  go to Control Panel, click
on Modems, then Diagnostics.  The display lists all COM ports, not just
the ones with a Modem.  Then you can highlight each COM Port, and click
on "More Info", and it shows the UART type associated with each port.
