Thanks for all the responses.  Each of them assumes knowledge not in 
evidence on my part, but there are enough overlapping bits that I should 
be able to hack through it :-).

In particular, there is a fragment of documentation in the NitrOS9 docs 
subdirectory that mentions "ACIA51" and has some verbiage on the subject. 
However, it's not included in anything other than the L1 manual so I'm 
uncertain as to whether it applies to L2.

None of the subject drivers appear to be supplied in the NitrOS9 source 
distribution.
