[Coco] rom swap with eprom?

[Barry Nelson]

I believe DW3DOS is only for booting NitrOS9. When I did this, I put the latest DriveWire version of HDBDOS in one bank, and a standard RSDOS in the second bank. It depends on your hardware what might be most useful. I had functional floppy drives, and some software will not run from DriveWire, so I put a vanilla RSDOS in the other bank. If you don't have working floppy drives or a CoCoSDC then a regular RSDOS won't do you much good and maybe you want the instant boot to NitrOS9 in the other bank. If you have a floppy controller with RSDOS and an MPI and are installing HDBDOS in a separate cartridge, then perhaps have RSDOS as the floppy rom, and something like HDBDOS and ADOS in the DriveWire rom cartridge.

So many choices...
