[Coco] Alternatives to Java Drive Wire.

[Robert Gault]

  Mark gave you the url for CoCoNet. What may not be clear in the docs is that the CoCoNet ROM for 
the Coco normally uses the CoCoNet server on your PC. It is also best with the ROM in a DrivePAK 
using a 2GB MicroSD card.
  There is an .ini file on your PC that needs to be edited for your system, where you can select the 
use of the serial I/O output on the Coco or the RS232 pak. The serial I/O cable is the same that 
Drivewire uses.
  The PC interface for Drivewire is much better to use, as the CoCoNet server essentially has none. 
So changing .dsk images is easier with Drivewire than the CoCoNet server. CoCoNet uses just 4 PC 
.dsk images although you can mount .vhd images. You can select images with the .ini file or commands 
on the CoCo.
