A2DACIA - Dual Asynchronous Communication Interface Adapter for Atari 8-bit

Hello everyone!

I would like to show you my last project which will be use to communicate between any RS232 device and Atari 8-bit (with some limitations). You may use this interface e.g. as Linux terminal, or terminal for ESP8266/AVR and many many more. The project is based on R65C52 IC (Rockwell) which is still available on the market (like eBay). PCB was created on the CART/ECI shape - this is limitation as well but I may rearrange PCB for others Atari models :-)

The software will be made soon... if anyone will do it himself :-)
