[Coco] Nitros and Drivewire question

[Jim Cox]

OK, before anyone corrects me, I just re-read the details 
for Drivewire, and Low and Belold, it does what just I was 
suggesting, except I need the Nitros ROM kit.  

OK, next question, is there anyone out there who is 
booting a CoCo-3 with a Nitros ROM and using a PC's 
resources via Drivewire?  If so, I would like to hear from 
you.  

I am thinking of setting up a Windows 98 box to be 
strictly a CoCo development system and use it's resources 
(HDD and CD-ROM) for a CoCo-3.  Any thoughts?
