[Coco] NitrOS-9 L2 on coco3 128k, with CocoSDC

[Bill Pierce]

Are you actually using DW? If so, the serial port is already in use by DW and DW4 already has terminal support bui8lt in, just type:
shell i=/z1 (no baud setting or anything, leave at default)
and a terminal window will open on your PC.
This is assuming the "rbdw", "dwio" &"scdwv" drivers plus "/z1" (/z2-/z7 opt) descriptors are in your boot.
From there, you can do most things you normally do from the cmd line EXCEPT any program/module requiring graphics.

I don't remember the command for using T1.. it's been a long time since I needed to do that :-)
