[Coco] Drivewire and raspberry pi 2

[lciotti at lrlc.us]

I say stay with any that have the FTDX chipper less problems.   This coompany comes recommend my the amateur radio crowd.

I personally have had good luck with the ones sold by Staples but those are prolific chisels so you milage may vary.   I have three prolific chipper types that I bought from various places that are useless.
