[Coco] RS232 Pak needed

[Steve Bjork]

We can do a limited hardware compatibility so most of the Non-OS-9 stuff 
will run.  For OS-9 drivers, we can added a bit more stuff to speed up 
the CPU to RS-232 handshaking. (Like current size of data in the FIFO 
buffer.)

I would also like to see a large (about 500 to 1,000 byte) FIFO buffer 
with RS-232 control line handshaking done right so we can speed up the 
I/O.  There are Pic chips with that size of ram and still cost only 
$0.75 or so.
