[Coco] DroidWire, cocofest Edition

[Brian Blake]

I've been working with DroidWire for a week now with an HC-05 blue tooth
module (www.wavesen.com, HC-05-D). These units are pretty inexpensive,
but,  I can't recommend them until I resolve the issues below.

It has no dip switches, completely configured via AT commands. I can get a
successful connection and pull directories from my S4 and a laptop using
this device,  however,  I've not had much success actually loading and
running any programs; all I get on the CoCo are I/O errors. Sock Master's
Donkey Kong will get to the loading screen,  then give an I/O error, and I
get the same results with Nicks Pac-Man.

This same unit works fine connected to Rogers CoCoNet devices where a 6551
is feeding it via TLL I/O lines. To get any data at all when connected to
the bitbanger, it has to be connected via the RS232 I/O lines.
