Actually, it does use the bit-banger serial port and
it does communicate
at 115.2kps quite reliably. The author of the drivewire server tells me
That's impressive. PResumably the protocol is designed so that hte CoCO
knows when characters will be sent to it (for example it requests a
packet from the host, and cna then wait for a knwon number of charcters).
Even so, it must tie up the CPU when receivign data from the host. That's
going to be rather unpleasant on a multiuser machine.
