[Coco] DW with RS232 to WiFi adapter (was play MIDI files)

[Neil Cherry]

I'm hoping to go the ROM method also (I haven't figured how I'll do that yet
but I do like the ROM boards on OSHpark). I'm hoping the case won't be necessary.

But on the question of a cable, doesn't DW support a TCP connection? I am thinking
of using an ESP-01 (tiny ESP board) and an RS232 adapter to plug into the CoCo
and access my Linux DW server.
