Al, the rom files have no load address. They are just direct dumps. They are not meant to be loaded into the Coco. Only by the burner software.

DOH!!!!!

Thanks Art!

Do you know of a program that can look at a binary file and tell what 
address it is meant to load to?

Because I don't know where the ROM files in the Drivewire image are going to 
load to.

Al, a trick I use to avoid having to calculate offsets is this:

Say you want to move a file XYZ.BIN that would normally load at $7E00
so that it loads at $2000 instead.  Just issue this command:

LOADM"XYZ",&H2000-&H7E00

Let the computer worry about the offset calculation!
