I seem, to rememebr using the TI SN75176 chip for this. I assume you're
using multiple drivers on the RS485 bus, so you'll need to find some way
of controlling the enable pins of the 75176.
It is a point-to-point RS-485 link, in this particular installation, not
multi-drop, fortunately.
I presume I would just tie the enable pins to "true"
The RS-485 device in question is a simple 4-wire transmit/receive pair.
