I'm trying to figure out which models have which serial chips in them, and
their max baud rates.
I'd appreciate it if y'all could help me fill in the following info:
Mac model:
Serial Chip Model:
Max Baudrate:
You can get the Max Baudrate from ZTERM, and a few other programs. Though
be careful, a bunch of programs will lie low. The number should be 57600,
115200, or 230400 baud. If your terminal emulator says something lower,
it's lying.
Chip models I expect to see (you'll have to open the computer to be sure,
don't bother if you're uncomfortable about this):
Zilog 8530 This chip is about 1 cm on a side
AMD 8530 Same as above
Zilog 8580 This chip is more like 1.5 to 2 cm on a side, and is also
the SCSI interface
The serial chip will be near the serial ports.
Datapoints I already have:
Mac II, IIci: 8530
Mac IIsi 8580
Quadra 650: 8530 Z0853008VSC
The full icky chip number is fine.
Please reply to just me.
Take care,
Bill
