Glasgow has been coming for a long time, and the few of us who have gotten ahold of one have been building applets to make it useful. But the real genius of Glasgow is how *easy* it is to write applets. So imagine how much better it'll get once everyone has one!

However, when *most* people say RS-485 they mean "RS-232 style UART over RS-485". Glasgow already has a UART applet. So assuming you mean *that*: 1) If you need "true" RS-485, you need an external transceiver, and then the UART applet needs a minor change to add a TX enable pin.

2) if you just need to talk to "some" RS-485 device or a few in a controlled situation, you could further extend the UART applet to fake a RS-485 bus with two single-ended I/Os, assuming your grounds are common and sane, and get away without using a transceiver.
