Introduction
The 6850 is a serial port controller. It is used on Thomson TO machines to connect the keyboard to other parts of the system, allowing a detachable keyboard on the TO9 and TO9+.
On the TO9, the joystick/mouse connector is on the detachable keyboard, so it is scanned through the same serial protocol.
