Still hasn't happened, so I guess one of us will do it then figure out a way to standardize the interface so software can be written.

Yes, true, and I understand. But it's just a PC doing something and then the CoCo is basically downloading it. If someone hooked up a PC to the CoCo so it could print via parallel, it wouldn't feel the same to me as a CoCo parallel port adapter. If "let me show you what I can do on my computer" involves another computer, I'm just not sure it's quite the same.
