I love having my CoCo set up again. I went and dug out the original Drivewire 2 disk and cable I bought years ago (still in the plastic bag) and hooked it to the CoCo, then found my USB serial dongle for my Mac. I was then able to load drivers (the names have changed, but I found scbbt and t1) and then list the text file out to a terminal program on the Mac.

This is not the order that they are in the file, but once sorted, you see the repeated data:
