 I decided to work on MShell's problem in reading the server's native drives on Mac and Linux DW4 servers. I think I have the problem solved. It works so far on my Linux VM with VCC running in Windows. There's still a couple of details to work out, but I need testers to bounce ideas off of.
I am going to need someone who is running DriveWire4 (not 3) on a Linux as well as a Mac machine for their file server for the Coco 3 & Nitros9 to test the new version of MShell.
There are requirements in doing this....

Coco3 w/drivewire or Coco3 emulater w/Becker Port
512k memory minumum
Hard drive or VHD based file system (for the system drive).
NitrOS9 3.3.0 w/drivewire drivers (scdwv, scdwp, /p /n and at least /n1 - /n2).

 Also must have the Pipe drivers in Nitros9 (piper, pipeman, & pipe).
Linux or Mac running Drivewire4 4.3.3o (may work down to 4.2.0, not sure).

Send me a private email and I'll send details and a disk image for testing.

Thanks :-)
