[Coco] Drivewire cable - Where to get it?

Or you can buy a cheapo RS-232 card that plugs into a free slot in the back of your PC... Cost me $2.99 on eBay from Hong Kong, S/H included. And you get TWO RS-232 ports to boot!

FTDI is a safe bet.  You'll pay a little more, but the adapter will work.  One thing to remember though is that FTDI adapters usually come with defaults that are not well suited to DriveWire.
You can gain 40% or so by adjusting settings as shown here:

"Newer" Prolific adapters seem to work fine too, though it can be difficult to tell what you're getting sometimes.  If the Prolific was significantly cheaper and the store has a decent return policy, I'd personally take the chance :)
