- This is probably overkill, but the Motorola MC68302 supports SDLC, with

-
- SDLC is fully supported, but the SDLC loop mode (ring

-
- The '302 has an M68000 core with 32-bit registers and 16-bit data paths

- communication controllers which provide the SDLC support plus several
- other protocols.
