[Coco] Drivewire client for OS9/68K

[Bob Devries]

Interestingly enough, I thought about changing the port of the USB device, 
and that's possible in the settings of the device, but anything lower than 
COM5 shows up as <in use>. I'm guessing my BIOS has reserved COM1 to COM4 as 
available on the motherboard.

However, I tried Mark's suggestion, and it works well.

FYI, you can also just change the port that Windows assigns to your
device to be lower:

Works with every serial device I've tried it on.
