Sure it wasnt the 6852 SSDA? UARTs generate start
and stop bits and
I checked the OSI610 schematic before replying. 8^)=

Figures.. However they loose a full sector for every four which is
pretty bad considering sync and other overhead that floppies incur.
I'd used the 6850 in my first tape system back in '75-76 as it was
available and worked well without baud rate clock scaling to do block
replaceable FM format at around 30 kbaud. Problem was the tapes I used
only got 60k of usable storage due to overhead. Going to a sync part
upped that to 80k. Then I found a decent floppy that was affordable.
