So my chances are low bummer, I havent found anything from google yet.
I guess It is not that hard to understand the lack of some vary basic
hardware products for the coco. If 90% of the current coco users are only
interested in playing RSdos games then the demand  for things like serial
ports, mpi replacements ect just is not there.
For my self I Intend to move as much as possible to useing my coco as my
primary computer.
If I could use my coco to telenet for bbsing and find a way to send and
recieve email that Would be a huge step in that direction for me. I can
dream and I can study and work to gain the skills nessary to make some of
these things myself (I hope).
===============================================
Some of the things you want are available... or at least schematics and boards so you can make them. There is an MPI replacement that was developed by a list member over the last year, but I can't recall any details. There should be serial port board plans/circuit board somewhere! 

I used my CoCo as my main computer for as long as possible. I think Delphi was the last computer service to have a true text only e-mail service. Read all my e-mail from them until... I think about 1998. After that it just wasn't practical. The Internet is too graphically oriented to do anything useful with a text only browser. E-mail has pretty much gone the same way, but you might find an acceptable solution for that.
