>   In the 80's I developed a sophisticated Laser Graphics (light show as in laser dot moving on a screen) system on the CoCo.  I did a show a couple years back at the Last CoCoFest in Chicago. 
> 
>   I'm in the process of preparing to release my software to the CoCo community in hopes of finding some others interested in building up some synergy.  It is vector graphics that could also be shown on an oscilloscope.  I see there are several good YouTube videos using a sound card and scope to do vector graphics.

>   I've been poking 'round the net (and Files Area) looking for ideas on transferring CoCo stuff to the PC probably not visa-versa, but you never know.  I have a Windows 95 machine with 5"  & 3" floppies, Enet and, obviously serial.  I also have a Vista Laptop with a wireless USB <-> Serial virtual (RF) serial link and HyperTerminal.
> 
> I also should have GETERM for the CoCo and saw a reference to using the printer port for Basic programs.  I have only vanilla RSDOS and prefer not to have to upgrade to any other OS, nor get an emulator set up if at all possible.  Though, thinking, I may have an ADOS controller, but don't recall its differences.  Mine are CoCo I or II, though my SW should run in the CoCo III.

> It appears serial is probably the way to go for Basic programs, but figure it's best to get some direction from the folks here.  For the ML  stuff I should be able to use the assembler, SIGMON, to do "Printer Prints" to Serial, or prehaps ASCII saves of the Source (I may already have them on disk).  Lots to review.
