More recent info (to me, anyway): the Tano Dragon, for which OS-9 is
going to be available, does things right with respect to serial/parallel
I/O, to wit they have a real live parallel port and the hardware to do
serial I/O right. They're priced the same for a 64K machine as the current
RS price, although the latter may come down soon. The catch on the CoCo
price, of course, is the $180 expansion box and <price unknown to me, but
I think at least a hectobuck> RS-232 cartridge you have to tack on to the
CoCo to get it to do stuff reasonably.
