[Coco] save to disk

[Aaron Wolfe]

You can easily make a DW disk image with any contents you desire, and
then copy that image to a real coco floppy using Robert's
instructions.
You can use the MESS image tool, or Louis's cocodiskutil, or even the
command built into drivewire itself to create such a disk.
