[Coco] Drivewire

[Mark Marlette]

CoCo3 = 115.2K baud
CoCo2 = 57.6K baud

Now that is slow compared to the data xfers being performed on my new I/O processor at 3Mbaud......via DMA.... :)

The DW bitbanger port is not your old CoCo's bitbanger port anymore...... :)

Drivewire runs over the Bit Banger, right?  Just how painfully
slow is it?

And, to ask once again as I think this question got missed
earlier.  Has anyone come with a hack that allows more than
one RS232 Pack to be used?  I still have one slot free in
my MPI and more RS232 PAKs.  :-)  There is nothing I would
like better than to demonstrate a CoCo running with 4 people
using it at the same time.  :-)  Come to think of it, if I
could put more RS232 PAK's on I could always yank the Floppy
controller and run 3 RS232 PAKS, the Bit Banger and the Console.
