December issue of The Rainbow (one of the top 2 Coco rags) has a fairly
thorough article on the Welsh threat to Coco.  According to this and my
flakey memory (wetware version), ALL 5 of Steve's rumors are true.
Definitely the Dragon has a parallel printer port and a command to
move the bottom 8K of Basic up above the cartridge area, so you get 40K.
(Incidentally, it's Motorola's fault (SAM chip design) that BASIC wasn't
laid out this way in the beginning.)
I don't recall for sure about the real UART, but we OS9 owners would
dearly love it.... mike k
