I have serial data coming in between 1200-9600 baud(I can determine the value).
I want to have a circuit display the value of each serially transmitted byte.

This is what I have right now:

serial data coming in   ----> MC14411(xtall controlled clock)  -->
				 MC6850(UART)  --> Two 7 segment displays

Things work fine, but I have to program a value of 0x15 into the MC6850 each
time I powerup my circuit.

Can anyone tell me if there is a better way to do this?

(The data coming in will come a byte at a time and there are pretty long delays
between each byte(>1second);  I want the two seven segment displays to show the
byte till the next byte arrives)

Thank you for your help.
