[Coco] Mac & Drivewire

[Paulo Lindoso]

I got mine (a PL2303 "generic") for $15 on Mercado Livre ( eBay in Brazil).

I am still trying to hook it up though, as it seems there is no comm
between my mac and CoCo...

Funny thing is that I having difficulty isolating the problem, since I
don't have any other device that use the "old" RS232/DB9 connector... :)

Cheers,
Paulo
