If it was ONLY for OS9 there have been a couple of hardware packs done that 
added as much as two real serial ports to the coco. Then all you then need is a 
serial port driver in the OS9 boot.

Douglas,

I believe there was an article in The Rainbow at one time, detailing how to 
add a serial port to the Colour Computer.

Someone may be able to recall just where (when) that is.
