[Coco] Serial and Ethernet in Coco Emulators

[Bill Pierce]

Kip,
As far as I know, no one has ever done the needed work to make any of the emulators have real "outside" connections, though the David Keil and JV Coco emulators did provide a means to add outside PC code (MS M/L) that could be interfaced with the emulators. BUT.....
Both the MESS and VCC Coco emulators have had "patches" privately done in which to access Drivewire in NitrOS-9 using the Boisy/Becker version of NitrOS-9.
 The patch for MESS is available on Aarons Drivewire download page but unfortunately, not only do you have to compile MESS yourself, it's written for the Linux version of SDL Mess 0136 only, which is almost impossible to find now.
 The DW version of VCC has never been released publicly due to a long wait on the VCC author's promise of releasing the source of VCC as an open source project, which he had promised to do several times but once again disappeared. I feel this patched version of VCC should at least be released "as is" in it's patched Beta form due to the enormous possibilities it gives to the communication between VCC and a real Coco running Drivewire.

Hi everyone!

 

Everyone has been quite active since I've been away.  I don't know if anyone
has done this or not, but I was wondering if anyone has added serial and
Ethernet capabilities to any version of VCC or MESS at some point in time or
to any other emulator for that matter that may not be widely known?  I sure
would like to communicate to the outside world.  

 

Keep up the great work everybody.  You guys are always a big help.  Thanks.

 

Kip
