[Coco] New 6821, 6551 replacements

[Roger Taylor]

Here's a company we need to keep an eye on.  The Western Design Center, Inc.
If they can do for the 6809 what they did for the 6502, (creating a 
100+mhz and 200+mhz version), what an amazing thing this would be.

Here's their 6821 PIA replacement that can work with 14 mhz buses.

Here's their 6551 ACIA replacement.  I have one that I'll be testing 
in a socketed RS-232 Pak and the new bluetooth CoCoNet pak to see 
what differences I can find.
