Hi,

On Windows there are several.

Jeff's and John's 6809 and 6309 MSDOS emulators, several utilities including Port

WordPad (Never Notepad) on Windows
I use it often to extract text but some editing is usually needed.

Lotus Magellan 2.0
The best program I have ever seen, it was in the box of blank disks I purchased to make copies of DOS 3.3. I still use it today and on W7 using the XPMODE Virtual Machine.

-----------------------------
All have their good points and bad points, I use the one that will do the job the fastest.

As for the "control the CoCo using a serial terminal as a console" I think that we are one nail short of a cigar.

The basic part was in OS-9 from the start, but if you are talking about graphics, I thought about a way to do that 30+ years ago and may have started.
