Chuckle. :)  I'm in the same boat with your wired, and I believe I need 
more tutorial.

I'd written a basic09 thing that works a bit like the linux 'dd' command in 
that if I feed it the raw versions of the os9 descriptor, like the 
driverwire /x0@ to /sh@, after setting /sh's stp to an empty hdb-dos 
drive3.  As the drivewire stuff doesn't issue an EOF when the source disk 
has all been read, I had to put a safety exit in for those .dsk's that 
purport to be floppy images, so it copies only 630 sectors.  Either the 
nitros9 /sh needs to return a disk full error at the attempt to write past 
the end of whatever the descriptor says the drive is, or /xn's need to 
exert an EOF when the end of the .dsk has been reached.  Anyway, I copied 
wired.dsk to hdb-dos drive3, and it seems to run, but I see no dw heartbeat 
on the usb adaptor, and trying to backup 0 to 4 issues 3 dots, with no dw 
activity or drive led flickers.

From nitros9:
{t2|09}/DD:dmode /sh stp=3

{t2|09}/DD:rsdos -dir /sh 
WIRED    BAS  0 A 1
HDBDOSC1 BIN  2 B 4
HDBDOSC2 BIN  2 B 4
HDBDOSC3 BIN  2 B 4
WIRED    BIN  2 B 1

Free granules: 54

So it looks as if I have it all on the hdb-dos drive 3.

Hence the request for more tutorial.  I did a 'run "wired.basENTER'.
Was that the correct invocation?

Cheers, Gene
