I could be wrong, but that seems to be written for use with a cm11a
(or some other RS232 device) rather than the cassette-port attached
device sold by RS for the CoCo.  For example, in tty.c it calls
open on DEVNAME (defined as "/t1")-- seemingly indicating use of an
SCF driver.  The comments from the binary package also suggest that
this was ported from Unix-based sources and that the host for the
6809 port was actually a Gimix system.

So if this is indeed for the RS cassette-port attached device then
there is a missing driver to make that look like a serial port...?
