Does anybody out there have experience with programming the Zilog 8530 in
the Mac for high speed synchronous serial I/O?  What data rate can the Mac
actually handle for communications protocols requiring a limited amount of
CPU intervention?  Has anybody tried protocol conversion say from DEC DDCMP
to SDLC or bisync?  For that matter, does anybody have any word on what
Apple's protocol will look like and what data rate it will support?  Lastly,
does Inside Macintosh have enough information (in conjunction with an 8530
data sheet and ap notes) to do this sort of thing in with a reasonable amount
of effort?

I'll summarize to the net if the response is sufficient.

Thanks in advance.
