Used in standard RS232 interfaces for the CPC (Amstrad_Serial_Interface), mapped to following Ports:
FADCh Amstrad RS323 Z8470 (Z80 DART) Channel A Data (R/W) FADDh Amstrad RS323 Z8470 (Z80 DART) Channel A Control/Status (R/W) FADEh Amstrad RS323 Z8470 (Z80 DART) Channel B Data (R/W) FADFh Amstrad RS323 Z8470 (Z80 DART) Channel B Control/Status (R/W)
Chip Variants (DART, SIO/0, SIO/1, SIO/2, SIO/3, SIO/4) Most CPC interfaces should contain the DART chips. Eventually some might use the SIO chips (which are including some additional features).
Zilog Z8470 - Z80 DART (Dual-channel Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) Zilog Z8440 - Z80 SIO (Dual-channel Serial Input/Output Controller)
Note: Five different variants of the SIO chips exist: types 0/1/2 are 40pin DIP chips with slightly different features/pinouts, types 3 (QFP package) and 4 (PLCC package) are 44pin chips, both combining all features of the three 40pin chips.
Control/Status Registers In the default state, reads/writes on the Control/Status port are accessing the RR0/WR0 registers. After writing a non-zero index value "n" to Bit0-2 of WR0, the next read/write operation on the Control/Status port will access the corresponding RRn/WRn register.

Data Registers
Rx Data Register
has a 3-stage FIFO, plus 1 rx shift register (4-stages in total)
Tx Data Register
has a 1-stage FIFO, plus 1 tx shift register (2-stages in total)
Interrupt Notes
Interrupts can occur on both channel A and channel B, certain bits (like interrupt enable flags) can be configured separately for each channel, other bits are shared for both channels: the interrupt vector can be accessed via RR2/WR2 of channel B only the interrupt pending flag can be read via RR0.Bit1 of channel A only
No info if the interrupt signal is connected to the CPC hardware, probably... it isn't?
