I like the in-series and token-based protocol idea.  All CoCo's would 
see a common signal sent out by any CoCo.  Packets could be used to 
specify the originating CoCo, destination CoCo, command, and a data 
byte - or # of bytes to follow + data bytes.

A CoCo could specify it is ready or not using an XON/XOFF packet.

Anyway, walk before run, so I want to get the hardware part working 
before getting too much into the protocol aspect.

By the way, I just added file sharing to CoCo3.com.  Members of the 
site get their own directory to upload whatever they want using a 
simple form.  Click the "File Uploads" link to bring up the Upload/Browse page.
