[Coco] NitrOS9 driver for Tandy RS232 Pak?

[John Eric]

I have an issue of trs-80 microcomputer news around here somewhere that has an asm listing of a device descriptor or driver for the rs-232 pak. If I can locate which issue, I could scan it, but I thought os-9 L2 came with support for the rs-232 pack, if so, couldn't it becopied over to nitros9?

Title says it.  I understand that OS-9 has always supported user consoles on the bit-banger serial port, but with speed limited to 300-baud (!)

I have just acquired a Tandy RS232 Program Pak and am wondering whether such a thing as a terminal driver exists for it.  Grepping the sources for NitrOS9 is showing only a device descriptor for a serial console.  Where (if it exists) is the actual driver?

I'd like to connect a serial terminal at, e.g. 19200 baud to the CoCo 3 and obtain an OS-9 login.  While I like most everything about the CoCo as an 8-bit hobby machine, I find the keyboard unspeakably wretched. Ideally, I could use miniterm from my Linux box to log in.

Any advice appreciated!

Steve
