Then from the web gui, mount a .dsk to drive0
upload drive: 0 name: Genes-common.dsk
/tmp/Genes-common.dsk
Opened: disk=0 file=/tmp/Genes-common.dsk stream=False mode=rb+
127.0.0.1 - - [30/Apr/2020 
01:13:20] "POST /upload?drive=0&name=Genes-common.dsk HTTP/1.1" 200 -
127.0.0.1 - - [30/Apr/2020 01:13:20] "POST / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
dw disk show


Drive  File
-----  --------------------------------------
0      /tmp/Genes-common.dsk
1      None
2      None
3      None
which is the wrong location, its actually in /opt here, not /tmp and its 
actually a 100 megabyte os9 disk image I used for a scratchpad, usually 
mounted to /x0 and accessible from the coco's keyboard as /x0.  But its 
not actually talking to the coco, zero traffic on the leds of the 
usb-serial convertor, even if I reboot the coco3.

Normally the cable traffic is quite obvious, those are see them clear 
across the room leds. Humm, unplugged usb cable, dmesg says its USB0 
now, stop, restart it on /dev/ttyUSB0.  Looks the same from here, go 
down to the coco, still no traffic on the convertor for a dir /x0, says 
not ready after a second or so, Unplug the adaptor from the hub, plug it 
back in, action logged here in dmesg, so cabling is ok.  Reboot coco, no 
traffic at adaptor. Drivewire had a keep alive that blinked them too, 
its nothing now. Looks like the coco3 isn't there. mdir lists the dw 
stuff like normal. Something aglay in the coco3. I faintly recall having 
to diddle the /t1 speed on the coco3, so I guess I'll drag out my scope 
and check it tomorrow.  That driver apparently doesn't compensate for 
running on a 63c09. Time for more sleep I think.
