Testing the Serial port on my new TRS-80 CoCo2

In this video I use putty to receive a basic program from my new CoCo 2 board. The CoCo thinks its talking to a a printer but in reality the data
is being displayed on my computer.

I guess this is the last test of this board.

Recently I learned about the Bit-Preserve project started by James Lewis (The Bald Engineer) and decided to contribute by transcribing a pdf of the schematic for my model TRS-80 into KiCAD.(This is what James is proposing for a bunch of retro systems). In one of his talks he mentions not having a good way to confirm that the schematics are actually accurate so I thought that actually recreating the circuit board is the best way to confirm the schematic is correct.

Thanks James for starting this project!
