[Coco] NOS-9 and the wireless RS-232 pak

[James Hrubik]

One of the logistical problems with the CoCo and remote sensing has  
always been the need to run cables.  In looking at Roger's wireless  
232 pak on coco3.com, I got to wondering :

(1) Are drivers available to run the wireless pak under Nitros-9?

(2) What is the range of the wireless pak?  Can this device be  
utilized in remote sensing, or environmental controls, at distances  
of, say, 100 metres?  If a battery pack had to be built to allow a  
remote CoCo to send/receive in a sensing or control position, what  
sort of power requirements might be needed to successfully use the  
wireless pak?

Just curious <G>.  There are always projects involving weather  
stations, monitoring of greenhouses, etc. to dream up.
