[sdiy] 6850 acia

[Scott Gravenhorst]

I've used and programmed these.

6850 1 MHz
68a50 1.5 MHz
68b50 2.0 MHz

The a/b paradigm denotes speed as shown above for all 6800 series parts. 
(Not 68000).  I don't have a scanner, but I'll do the best I can to get you
info like pinouts, what registers do what, etc. as I have the Motorola docs.

Also, google spit this out for "mc6850":
http://people.msoe.edu/~welch/courses/cs391/cs391-18.pdf

small PDF, has probably what you want.  I found the site very slow, so if
you can't get it, email me privately and I'll email it.
