FWIW, Drivewire on Gary's CoCo3FPGA does provide full compatibility
with regular old DECB.  The CoCo does not "know" it's using DW at all.
 Gary implemented a standard FDC/1773 for the CoCo to talk to and the
translation of requests to DW is behind the scenes.

I'd imagine the same approach could be used with the SD card.
