[net.micro] Dual UARTs in 40-pin DIP

MKB@CMU-CS-C.ARPA@sri-unix.UUCP (06/13/84)

From:  Mike Blackwell <MKB@CMU-CS-C.ARPA>

I'm in need of some dual UARTs in 40-pin DIPs. Does anybody know of such a
beast? All of the ones I've seen are 48-pin... I don't need any frills, any
old generic UART will do. Thanks for any info pointers you can provide!

		cheers, -m-		(mkb@cmu-cs-c)

The Z-80 SIO, Z80-DART, and Zilog SCC (8530???) are all dual uarts of
varying degrees of sophistication and programming difficulty.  Check
your local Zilog rep for literature.

The SCC has built-in baud rate generators which could be worth it.

The Motorola/Signetics 2681 is two full-function UARTs, including
baud-rate generators and parallel i/o for modem control, in a single
40-pin DIP.  (There are smaller versions with less parallel i/o, and
a 48-pin 68000-bus version, also.)
