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. Christopher R.
