[Coco] Drive Wire

[Boisy Pitre]

Steve,

Thanks for the kind words.  Actually, it's a shame that PitStop II  
doesn't work with DriveWire, not the other way around.  For whatever  
reason, some game designers chose to ignore Tandy's strong  
recommendations to stay within the guidelines and use DSKCON for disk  
I/O.  Had they done that, then they would have worked with DriveWire  
without any reservations.

It would be valuable if someone could get these games to use the  
DSKCON routine instead of their own custom WD1793 disk controller code.
