Hi Kandur!
Thanks a bunch.  I'll be waiting for your email.
Could you resend a link to your blog?  I can't find it in my email database
as of yet.  Thanks a bunch.  
Yes, I think I do remember seeing some 6850 driver descriptors in the list
of your archive last time I read it.  I want to look at them again.  I would
also like to see some schematics if available.  I'm working on what will one
day be my biggest project yet.  I'm nowhere near ready to announce it yet.
It's in the beginning stages of design at this point.  I'd like to get a
copy of that software so I can begin to collect the drivers and driver
descriptors I will need.  You can send it directly to my email address
below.  Thanks a bunch!  Take care my friend.

Kip, nice to see you back in the list.
Ok I'll mail you regarding the CHDA. 
Just updated my the LR-Tech Super Board blog today,

included the Integrated Circuits list.
Now, if you look at the Source directory tree  do you see device descriptors
there  for the serial ports?
The good news is, when the super board is plugged into the y-cable, it
doesn't interfere with the FDC.
Hoping that Kevin reads this too, and/or  someone knows his address, because
the mail I sent to him bounced.
