 Are the drivers and descriptors available for these chips? I've been 
wanting to build a new board for my coco using one of these chips to replace 
the 6551 chips I'm using now.
 My current board has three of the 6551 chips and from what I hear, the 
46551 and 46552 are superior.
 I use stock OS-9 L2 on a 512K CC3.

Thanks,

George
