​Ok so I loaded the original CoCo1/2 based Disk Images on DriveWire 4
Server in disk slot 0 and loaded a blank save disk in disk slot 1.  I then
connected my CoCo3FPGA project to it.​  I typed 'DOS' and the InfoCom stuff
started loading as expected.  So the CoCo3FPGA project does indeed seem to
work fine, but it also emulates the FDC chip through DriveWire where as
HDBDOS and SDC-DOS only give you DSKCON access to the DriveWire drive not
emulated FDC hardware.
