[Coco] Serial stuff. 6551 ACIA. LAN/Wifi adapters. Drivewire

[Walter Zambotti]

1. A while back I read some posts regarding a serial to Wifi adapter that
someone was experimenting with.

 

What ever became of that?

 

2. I have a 6551 ACIA RS232 chip in my CoCoIII.  I had an OS9 driver for it
at one stage but can't find the
driver anymore.  I think there is one in the OS9 archives on the Microware
site.

 

Looking at the 6551 specs it is rated at only 19200 baud with the internal
clock.  Does anyone know what
baud can be reached on an external clock.

 

3. I asked this before (and was answered) but can't find the post.  Can the
Drivewire drivers under Nitros9
be converted to use the 6551 ACIA instead of the bitbanger?  And would this
be worth while doing?
