Nope, an AE Quadra link.

That's essentially how I would do it. I was talking to the fellow who did the
zs driver (whose name escapes me right now) about this a while ago. It seems
that the chips on my AE card are your average, everyday Zilog serial chips.

You should be able to do something similar if you can acess the chips directly.

I think a project like this, code that supports cards that not everybody has,
should be done in an LKM. It cuts down on kernel bloat for folks that don't
have the cards and it lets people test stuff in userland.

Well, even cooler would be if you could get the 68000 working so you could
get some serious speed out of it but that may be too much of a headache. :)
I find it interesting that you can actually address the SCC chips on the
board without having to talk to the 68000. You'd think that the card
manufacturer would put only the 68000 on the NuBus and the SCC chips on the
68000's bus. Go figure.
