Which one of these would you likely pick for CoCoNet or general 
purpose RS-232 CoCo-to-PC communications?

1) least expensive, game pak sized, bitbanger version of CoCoNet (ROM 
Pak + 5 foot serial cable), 57600/115200 bps
2) more expensive, game pak sized, Wireless/bluetooth RS-232 pak, 
approx. ~100ft range, up to 115200 bps
3) average cost, game pak sized, new RS-232 Pak with DB-9 port

1 and 2 will be produced soon and contain the CoCoNet EPROM which 
will give your CoCo a Disk BASIC 1.1 virtual floppy drive system + 
HTTP request capabilities using your PC as the resource base and 
enhanced BASIC commands for all functions.  In other words, CoCoNet 
is "transparent" and ready on power-up.
