Connecting multiple computers to one chain of SIO devices

MultiLink ties together Rx and Tx, and doesn't use any signalling. Connecting COMMAND to PROCEED both ways lets Computer A signal to Computer B (or vice versa) that it wants something. Without that functionality, each computer has to constantly monitor the serial port; perhaps OK for a game, but a loss of processing power when you're trying to do other things on the computers.
