John, glad to hear it worked for you.

I should add that this feature will be available with the release of 
DriveWire 2.0.

Speaking of DriveWire 2.0, here are some of the features that it will 
have:

	- CoCo 1/2 and CoCo 3 ROM images for both motherboard AND disk 
controllers
	- LOADMable CoCo 1/2 and CoCo 3 DriveWire DOS .BIN files
	- Cassette MP3s on the accompanying DriveWire CD (for those like John 
who wish to CLOADM)
	- DriveWire Servers for Linux, Windows and Mac

HDB-DOS for DriveWire is also now working.  I'm considering exactly how 
to make that product available; it may well be that it will be part of 
the DriveWire 2.0 package.

Regards,
Boisy
