Once again, Drivewire is the answer!
Maybe one of the hardware gurus should design a ROMPAK size board
with a 40 pin header for a Pi Zero to connect +5, ground, and the TTL
UART pins. Connect a '6551' to the UART pins (ala RS232 Rom Pak) and add
enough flash to hold the correct version of HDBDOS.
Drivewire in a ROMPAK!!
Unplug the PAK from the CoCo and connect power, keyboard, meese,
and display, for configuration. Easy to set any version of Drivewire to
auto-start against the serial port on the Pi.
