Not an OS9 user, but the Dragon 64 actual serial port is definitely
different: it's a 6551 ACIA.

People do build parallel port adapters to bring out the same lines as
the coco to use as "bit banger" though, which might be what you were
suggesting above.

Suspect someone like Tormod V chiming in here would be more useful
to you! :)
