Oh, they may be the best of a bad lot; I'm familiar with only a very

Ahh, the DC319. I sure would like to find a few tubes of those lying
around. I've never heard of the 7750, what is it?
I'm glad you found it easy to deal with. I
don't, especially not as
compared to what it could be.
Ok, so what UARTs are (or were at the time) better?
I'll look into
them, and if I agree, I will use them, and I will thank you. The absence of anything better - even if that's
what it is - doesn't
make them good, except possibly in a relative sense.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion. As I've said, I've used
that chip quite a bit, and I like it a lot. Yes, it's work to use, but
this line of work isn't for the faint of heart to begin with.
