[Coco] serial terminal for the coco3

[Michael R. Furman]

Paulo,

I have played around with using a coco3 as a serial terminal recently.

V-Term can use the bit-banger port up to 2400 baud

And TwilightTerm can use the bit-banger port up to 9600.  9600 baud just barely works even with a known reliable serial converter.

Hope this helps
