What ever happened to networking of coco2's for educational buyers. Any info would be appreciated using OS9 or even cassette port communication for uploading short programms . Shooting for 16 coco2's and maybe a coco3 server.

All I know is this--long ago, when I was a poor student (and impoverished, too :-) in Oklahoma, a Tandy computer catalog, on the page describing networking for their Model 4s or something of that sort, there was a sentence that read "for the Model <n>, and soon for the Color Computer..." Somewhat later, I bought the Level One version 2.00.00 upgrade, and the *table of contents* had an entry labeled "Networking." If you looked on the indicated page, though, you'd find nothing at all about networking. The only thing I can figure is that Tandy came very close indeed to supporting networking for CoCos under OS-9. For some reason, though, they must have decided against it, and didn't quite do a good enough job of editing out all references to it from the upgrade manual. (I don't think Tandy computer catalogs referred to networking for the CoCo after that.) So...if you want networking for the CoCo, I would say you should ask Tandy about it.
