Subject: Z80 SIO in BISYNC mode

Has anyone on the list worked with the Z80 SIO in its BISYNC mode? I am
going to be using it as my part in a token ring network for a computer
communications networks class I am taking this semester.  I have so far
gotten two Z80 computers to communicate over a BISYNC link, but only after
running both systems off the same clock (this in effect, gives the same
clock to both transmit and receive). The Z80 SIO manual does not mention
this, and I was rather suprised to find it so clock sensitive.  Our
textbooks mention little about BISYNC. I would appreciate anyone to share
their experiencees in working the SIO in BISYNC mode.
 
Thanx in advance,
