[Coco] Drivewire

[Bob Devries]

Hi Steve,

I believe that it is possible to do this. Indeed, before I got my 
CocoSDC, I had a setup like this: 2 80 track 5.25" drives, A Disto SCII 
with 4-in-1, with two 120 MB Quantum SCSI drives. I used Drivewire with 
that setup.

Having said that, I'm only using Drivewire 3; that's the only setup that 
works for me. For the life of me I cannot get Drivewire4 to work. It 
keeps giving me an error that COM1 is in use. Why is it that DW3 works 
fine, but DW4 does not?

Oh, well, I keep plugging away at it.

Regards, Bob Devries
