@flame( What you want is a serial to parrallel converter, not a parallel
to serial converter!)

There was an article describing an extremely clever serial to parrallel
converter in the December, 1983 issue of "microcomputing" magazine
('solution to a serial saga', by Frank Sergeant, page 102).  It uses
an 1802 uProcessor, a ROM, a hex inverter, and an 1852 parrallel latch.

The circuit is designed with CoCo in mind, and does rely on the computer
having a hardware handshaking line on its serial port...
