[Coco] VCC2.0.1 and DriveWire

Hello,
I have downloaded and installed 
"Vcc.2.0.1b.Coco.3.Becker.Port.Emulation.setup.exe"
It has created this MPI slots assignemets:
Slot 1 - Orchestra-90  26-3143
Slot 2 - HDBDOS/DW/Becker  00-0000
Slot 3 - Hard Drive  + Cloud9 RTC
Slot 4 - FD-502  26-3133

I have the Drivewire server started and in the status line of VCC I can see:
Skip:01 FPS:60 MC6809 @0,89MHz MPI:3,3 DW: ConOK R:00.0 W:00.0 HD:No Image 
FD-502:Idle
So, it seems that the drivewire connection has been made.
But I cannot access any disk on the drivewire server.
Any attempt to DIR n (0-3) returns the directory of the FD-502 disks
I use drivewire with XRoar (emulating Dragon) without problems
Is there any way of starting HDBDOS? When I select slot2 and reset, then
it starts only with Extended Color Basic (?)
For sure I am losing something ... or I need a guide to DW4 for VCC
What I would like is to access any disk in DW4 and be able to start NitrOS-9
from there against the VHD. I hope it is doable.

Another point:
In case I add an VHD, for instance "Nitros9.vhd" then I can access a lot of 
RSDOS
disks from 1 to 255 with no problems, but from that moment, I cannot access 
the
disks on the FD-502 ... is this normal?

The file I downloaded has the VCC 1.43 manual which explains just the std 
menu options.

cheers
pere
