[Coco] NON-GAME Coco cartridges

[Al Hartman]

For OS/9 or Flex, one could hang multiple terminals off the serial ports. 
Or, have a fast Modem, a Dot Matrix, Daisy Wheel (the Juki and Smith Corona 
TP-1 were popular back then), and some other device off it.

I wish Tandy had sought fit to just give the Coco PC Compatible Serial and 
Parallel ports...

Actually, I was wondering why one would want or need 4 RS232 ports, and a
multi-line BBS was all I could think of.  Though I suppose one port could
be for the printer as an alternative to the bit-banger, though the
advantage of that seems marginal, apart from saving the cost of a
serial-to-parallel adapter.
