[...] the ones
I'm familiar enough with to compare the software view
of are all integrated into something larger, such as the 7750 SCIF
or the MicroVAX-II console.
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?
One of the Hitachi Super-H CPUs. In particular, the CPU in the Sega
Dreamcast, one of which which I've been playing with intermittently in
the last year or two.
Not an 8-bitter, but feels surprisingly like it (well, to me at least),
probably because the instruction set is so cramped (instructions are
only 16 bits wide, so the things they can do are rather more restricted
than usual for a 32-bit CPU).
Relevantly to the discussion, it's got an integrated serial port with
two 16-byte FIFOs, one in each direction.
