One thing I wanted to add is that the 26LS30 chips (there are two right
next to the serial ports) are the serial drivers. They aren't the ones I'm
asking about.
I was wrong about the 85C80. It's more like an inch on a side.
Most of these chips are either from Zilog (start w/ a Z) or from AMD
(start w/ an AM it seems).
Take care, and thanks for the info!
