I did the Forgotten Chip add-on as well and it gave the CoCo the same 
set of registers used by the RS-232 Pack and DC Modem Pak, both 6551 
based.  The signals came out of the bitbanger port.

Does anyone have a PDF copy of that old article?  Also, has anyone 
added their own stuff by using the Disto Super Controller MEB bus?
