I'm looking for hardware details on the PC-Localtalk board (from
Apple nee Farallon).  Specifically, I'd like to find enough info
to be able to program to it at the hardware-level (i.e. write
a driver for it that does _not_ use PhonenetTalk/PC, as the localtlk
packet driver does). [Why, you ask?  I have 3-4 of these boards doing
nothing as Localtalk boards, but I have possible uses for an RS422 
interface].

Where might I find specs and/or source code examples for programming 
this board?

Alternatively, I also have a Novell NA1000 (or whatever it's called)
Localtalk board.  Info for this board would be equally welcomed.

I've found info on programming SCC interfaces (from KA9Q-NOS), but 
it seems to me the Localtalk board is a bit more complex. (It's
got a 6502 on board) (The na1000 has a z80)


Thanks,
  Don Loflin
