Does anyone know how to program the Zilog SCC8530 serial com. chip? I am writing a MIDI driver on an Apple IIgs with an Apple MIDI interface (without using the toolbox), and I need to know how to program the Zilog directly. Thanks, Tom (friday@vax1.acs.udel.EDU)

I thought I'd never see something like this! I actually have some inkling of how to use it. I'm not ready to try to explain. You can get a manual from Zilog for free by just giving them a call. Look 'em up in the phone book. If you have trouble, I'll send you their address/phone.

I guess this won't do as an address, but it's a start. When I was living in the area (San Jose), I went down there to get documentation on the SCC chip. I got a thin booklet and expected it to be free, but those dweebs charged me something like six bucks! I couldn't find the same document anywhere else, so I had to pay. I guess they had to make up for lost sales of their Z80000 in *some* way :-) Funny thing is that their microcomputer group used the AT&T WE32100 CPU instead of their own Zilog CPU's. This was back in '86-'87 or so; I don't know what they've been up to since. --Neil McKenzie (mckenzie@june.cs.washington.edu)
