A great service would be performed if someone would develop a single
chip-based serial to parallel circuit.  

Any sort of UVPROM type combined processor-i/o chip with a reasonable 
number of i/o pins would probably be fine.  

Serial-parallel conversion at fairly high baud rates can be accomplished 
in software;  very simple flow control would have to be implemented, and 
fancy buffering for folks with extra $$ for memory could be done too.

Putting this sort of thing in the public domain would be a great
service (and save a lot of money).  If I had time I'd do it myself.
