[Coco] VCC and serial comms

[tonym]

Would that stuff work to all serial comms into standard stuff under OS-9, say, like the OS9L2BBS and such? /T1 OS-9 terminals?

Not exactly, but the version at http://vcc.cococoding.com has support
for the "Becker" interface, which maps a couple memory addresses in
the emulated CoCo to a TCP port on the host PC.

There are currently HDBDOS ROMs and drivers in OS9 that use this TCP
port to communicate with the DriveWire 4 software, which in turn
allows up to 15 concurrent TCP/IP connections on the CoCo.  You could
also use the Becker port to implement your own software quite easily.
