Setup the Pi to run pyDriveWire.
With pyDriveWire running, you can use DTerm and take advantage of the
pyDriveWire SSH out as well as the file and other capabilities.
DWterm supports VT-100 style terminal emulation and several choices of screen
size on CoCo1, 2 and 3.
There is also an MC-10 version of DwTterm.

DwTermMC10

And if you're lookfing for pure "back then" terminal, the disk version of
VidTex supported much of the DEC VT-52 terminal emulation, including several of
the VDG's graphical modes which could be taken advantage of from the Pi.
