[Coco] need drivewire help

[Bill Pierce]

Gene, you were using the Developer's release of drivewire ("e"). It's not the same. It's one Aaron put together for some of us. It's actually a better version (IMHO), but takes an hour to explain what works and what doesn't. If you're having problems with it (it takes a lot of "getting used to"), then just go back to "o" or "p".

Went down and rebooted the coco, with same 2 images mounted, the coco 
can't see them. Changed from usb0 to usb1, restarted coco3, can now see 
mounted disks at /xn

But where did all the other stuff 4.3.3o had go? Much simpler interface 
here, and whats this vportsniffer? I have it dchecking /x0, which is 
where the trashed file is now mounted. Exits with
dcheck: cannot open '.' directory
Pathlist is: /x0/WP_RS/WP_RS
Error #216 - Path Name Not Found
So that didn't change. But this is fixed                                                    
Which now gives the whole root directory

dir -e /x0

 I haven't tried to copy anything in or out of it though.  The old 
version all sort of bells a whistles. I could even create a new disk 
image with it, but all that stuff is missing now.
