You might want to check out the 6402. I have a bunch of them from some
syncronous modems I scrapped a few decades back. It has the distinction

is fairly bare-bones. It has several simple registers, but much of the
config is done with hardware by enabling pins and what-not.
I'll remember that one. Though compared to
serial chips many disk
controllers and their associated stuff that wraps around them
programtically are pretty horrid too.
Has anybody made a easy to use serial chip, all seem to be lacking
some feature?
The only way I like to program is I/O is 'hardware" setup ... Dip
switches and hard reset
lines. :)
