[Coco] DriveWire Software - Serial Connector?

Not all are spaced the same, but this looks right.  I think they expressed 
it back in the day as the # of degrees around the circle the pin's were 
spaced, so a coco 4 pin din is a 270 degree DIN, something like that... and 
for example the cassette plug has 5 pins, but all crowded down around the 
bottom...
