[Coco] Rs232 Pack

[Bill Nobel]

Ok following this a bit, Phil I see your question leading to 2 things that do exist already.  A: Drivewire will do 90% of what you are asking with non RS232 paths.  B: Using a ESP chip on bitbanger or on a board wired as RS232 you can get wireless RS232 protocols exactly like the C64 uses (Zimodem to be exact)  I use both on real hardware.

Back in the 90's there was some terminal programs including Ribbs that
supported the Rs232 Pack. In my option it will be a waste if time spent
re-writting some of  the programs that supported the RS232 Pack. The
Commodore 64 has a emulator and that supports networking and the old
programs work with it.

I would like  to see the Rs232 pack support added to the Coco Emulator
using the same tech information that is in the orginal Rs232 Pack Manual.

I am still confused by your statement.  The RS232 Pak is supported by
many programs already, so support has already been added to those
applications for the RS232 Pak.

Are you asking for the RS232 Pak to be reproduced so that more people
can own one?
