[Coco] 6 Chip ^809 Computer -> Kipper SBC

[Aaron Wolfe]

DW allows for up to 30 multiplexed serial streams which are mapped to the
same number of TCP sockets on the server side.  A second serial port would
not be required.  You'd just use one of the streams as the console exactly
as the "headless" nitros9 disks do.

This has the added benefit of being very small in memory use compared to
drivers for a video device and a real storage controller, which might be
critical in only 32k.  Drawback of needing a second computer to operate
your first computer, but unless youre using dumb terminals, chances are you
already needed a second computer.
