The Imagewriter runs at 300/1200/2400/9600...your II Plus can drive it
at 9600.  Plugging a CoCo in is a bit trickier, since the default rate
for the serial port on that machine is 600.  I think there are some
POKEs that'll bring it up to 1200 (if nothing else, the systemwide
speedup POKE might work, but disk controllers usually toss cookies
when you use it...not that it matters to me since I only have
audiotape storage for my CoCo 2).  I don't have a listing of
DIP-switch settings at this moment, but I could look them up later on.
