According to that site, there is not a 65c52S, so we'd have to piggyback 
the 2nd one.  Thats alright as its what I did for first, a 2nd midi 
port, and later, a serial mouse, which I am still using.

How much is this "bugfixed" 65c51S in 28 pin dip? Maybe I could just swap 
them out in my 232 packs.  Hmmm, all I seeat Mouser is 65C51N's
 no S's. Diff?
