Steps on how to list a program from the CoCos bit-banger serial:
1) set up the drivewire server
2) power on the CoCo 3
3) load program from drivewire
4) poke 65496,0: rem this should turn of turbo mode and make the serial port
600 baud
5) close the drivewire server on you PC
6) open a terminal program and use the serial port used by drivewire
7) set the baud rate to 600bps,No parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit
8) tell the terminal program to save/capture to disk/file
9) on the CoCo type LLIST
10) on the PC with the terminal program in focus hold down the spacebar
11) when the listing is done release the spacebar
12) stop capture to file.
13) view the file
14) write me back and thank me

Note holding the spacebar tells the CoCo that the printer is ready.

If this does not work try a different baud rate or different number of data
bits.
