[Coco] Hi all. New to the list

[Todd Wallace]

I noticed there is an OSX version of DriveWire, which is what im using here.  My difficulty arises from how to get the coco side of the software going. The instructions on the website say to use a cassette cable and a .wav file to load the coco program for transferring files. However I have no tape cable, nor do I want to use a .wav file to load each time i want to access the Mac/PC.  Is there a .BIN version of the coco utility for DriveWire from a disk?
