[Coco] UART parallel driver. was> The most bizarre thing >>ATTN Johann

[George Ramsower]

 It never occurred to me that a UART could mate to a parallel device but, as 
I think on this, it makes sense.
 Earlier, someone suggested this ckt was a serial to parallel interface and 
it seems he was correct.

 Interesting but not something I'm willing to look into, today.

  Yes, such a thing converts in both directions in an universal way, often
  only signal driven (without any complex register programming, as far as
  I have understand the datasheet of the AY-5-1013A). Probably not a good
  idea (uncommon, not to say unstable) if the system bus would be connected
  via a flat cable ...
