	Even if there were source to some comm programs on sumex, they would
not help you ton understand the ZILOG chip - the reason is that for compat-
ibility on future CPU's Macintosh programmers use something called the Toolbox
which includes and Serial Manager (sort of) that one uses to talk to the 
serial driver (which does the direct talking to the ZILOG, in this case!).
	If you would like to understand how to write comm softare on the Mac,
I suggest you read the Serial Manager chapter in Inside Macintosh volume II.
Also if you want to write comm softare, you might well consider Apple's new
Communications Toolbox (available from APDA!)
