[Coco] DW4Man Now Released to the public

[Bill Pierce]

In my previous Email on the release of DW4Man, I forgot to mention that if you use VCC w/Becker port and want to use DW4Man, You will need to amp the clock up to about 35Mhz or better. The older your machine, the faster you need to go. The reason for this is there is a problom with either VCC or DW4Man's buffers and one is overwriting the other at slower speeds. This problem does not seem to appear on a real Coco 3
I am currently working on a way to resolve this problem and will post a new version as soon as I get it fixed.

Thanks
Bill P
