[Coco] wireless CoCo serial

I do believe that any PC USB Bluetooth dongle should have a serial 
driver in the software meaning that it should connect to one of those 
DB-9 Bluetooth serial adaptors (software-free type).  This would cut 
the price in half to add a wireless connection between your CoCo and PC.

There's a few Hong Kong sellers on ebay that I've picked up some very 
cheap USB devices from in the past including a $1.99 (Buy Now, not an 
auction), USB Bluetooth adaptor.  It's the blue plastic transparent 
case version you've probably seen.  A serial port driver was 
installed, can't remember if Vista did this automatically or not, but 
there was a COM port or two added to Windows.
