NitrOS9 supports the bitbanger 4-pin serial port as /t1, and an RS-232 pack as /t2. These may or may not be in the boot file depending on what you are running. I think they removed /t1 because no one uses it (it can really only do 300 baud).

There is a ready-to-go CoCoSDC image of NitrOS9 you can download, mount in SDC-DOS, then type “DOS” and you are up and running. It has plenty of extra space.

I do not have the link to it — it does not appear to be on the Sourceforge page — but I downloaded it somewhere when I got my SDC.

I’ll see if I can find the link.
