Serial chips ????

I assume you mean the 2 CIAs, which both have one serial and one parallel port.

One is controlling the PAR-port and the KBD (serial), while the other has the SER-port and the floppy-port (parallel and in coworks with Paula).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
