Hi all, I can confirm that Drivewire works fine on a real Dragon 32
(using 57600 baud).

See also my announcement on the Dragon forums:

Of interest to some CoCo owners as well could be that, in preparation
of running HDB-DOS from RAM on the 32K Dragon, I made HDB-DOS
build-time location-independent, that is, it can be made to run from
any memory location. It might even run from RAM on a 16K CoCo but not
much space would be left.

What is this next-gen device? The FlashPAK on the Cloud-9 web site? Is
there any reason it won't be Dragon compatible from day one? When is
day one by the way? :) Any ETA?
