I have put together a file on hacking one RS232 pak and adding the IRQ (CART)
line direct into the MPI.  (All internal to the MPI--no cable into CoCo.
It has worked great on my system)
If you'd like to see it, I'll post or email.  It's a simple process, and one
rs232 (unmodified) works with /t2, the other with /m1.  I've had a user on
a 19.2Kbd terminal, one @1200 on the modem, and me, and the only time things
got slow was when the floppies were a'spinnin'. :-)
