The Zilog Z16C01 SCC was introduced in the early 1980s and provided the ability to do both standard UART style serial communications along with the HDLC protocol for a reasonable price. It was a descendant of the earlier Zilog SIO, and its main enhancement was the inclusion of a built-in baud
rate generator.

Zilog Z8000
The Z8000 is a 16-bit microprocessor introduced by Zilog in 1979. The architecture was designed by Bernard Peuto while the logic and physical implementation was done by Masatoshi Shima, assisted by a small group of people. The Z8000 was not Z80-compatible, and although it saw steady use well into...
