With a dump of the cartridge, using Mark's Coco Cartridge Board, it should 
be possible to re-create the Colorcom/E cartridge.

Colorcom/E in a cartridge was my first regularly-used terminal program, and
I liked it a lot!

There was also an early cartridge terminal program from The Micro Works,
possibly called Microcom.  I recall that it used the cartridge interrupt.
Came with source code included, which was pretty unusual.

Autoterm was another third-party terminal program that existed as a
cartridge.
Had a good reputation.

It is probably unlikely that one could find any of these cartridges
nowadays, on eBay or elsewhere.
