Due to the large number of years between modern manufacturing procedures and my 
trusty Kaypro 10, I now find myself in a slight problem when it comes to the 
darn Z80-SIO chip.
After a _lot_ of work, I finally managed to track down a sketchy outline of the 
chip's software structure.

Can _anyone_ please tell me how to set the darn thing to 8 bits, no parity, 1 
stop, and no handshaking (if possible)?

(Bassically, all I need to know are what bytes to send to what port... Channel 
A data, Channel B Data, Chan A commands/status, or Chan B commands/status).


Thanks in advance.
-Andrew.
