I understand the R:Verter gives you another very cheap way to get an RS-232
port, namely use the existing serial I/O channel used for the peripherals,
together with MC1488-14889 level converters, the only external chips you need.
The "UART" is already implemented in the POKEY chip and all you need to make
it work is the software (which may be tricky, but as it uses no silicon,
software is free, isn't it?).  Does anyone out there in net-land know where to
get a driver for the R:Verter?  Is is Public Domain?
