Anyway, you told me what I wanted to know, even if I didn't ask
properly ;)
I've found I've got *one* Zilog 8530 in my box of spares... but it
doesn't have any kind of speed rating on it (which may mean it's only
4MHz).
Still, I'll take the dead AMD one off the Sun board, stick a socket on
there and give this found one a try. If not I'll have to desolder a good
6MHz Zilog chip from the Sun comms board and use that...
cheers

Just to confirm - Zilog parts labelled
Z0853006PSC (SCC) are the same as
AMD part AM8250H-6 ? (I would think so)
No. I wasn't aware that AMD had ever made the 8250, but if they did,
it's definitely not equivalent to a Z8530. The AMD equivalent is
the Am8530,
