I'm in the middle of a divorce; moved out months ago and only took a few 
CoCo items with me. As soon as I get a chance, I'll try to pull a bin 
file from the ROM in one of the three Deluxe RS-232 devices I have.

The problem with the EB-301 is they appear to no longer be made. I 
snagged a few BT modules from a Chinese supplier that seem to work very 
well - I used one in a third board I bought from Roger to make my own 
wireless pack. They were very inexpensive as long as you buy enough to 
make the FedEx shipping worth it to you. I was trying to use one to make 
a bit-banger bluetooth connection for either DriveWire or CoCoNet - the 
PC will connect to the CoCo thru bluetooth, but, neither DriveWire nor 
CoCoNet see any useful data. No time to mess with it since I moved from 
the house.

A CoCoNet ROM MUST be in the Wireless pack for it to talk to the PC when 
a CoCoNet enabled device is in the CoCo.
As for accessing the RS-232 pak functions; I know it's in the manual; 
I've talked to Roger about it numerous times - but I've never been able 
to access the rs-232 settings in any of the devices I got from him.
