I would imagine any coco emulator that can bind the bit banger to a real 
serial port would work you would have to have the emulator running on 
one computer and drivewire server on the other though. and I have never 
even attempted such a setup before so YMMV also one issue I can see from 
the get go is that the emulator may hard code the Serial baud rate to 
some ridiculously low number which might defeat the high speed bit 
banger routines of drivewire.

It might be possible to mount nitros9 on an emulator instead and do most 
of your development on that image and then mount the image on drivewire 
server and boot it on your coco3 for testing after you compile your code 
that might be a much easier way to do your development.
