[Coco] Making a new OS9 disk.

[Boisy Pitre]

Phill,

Using ToolShed, you could certainly use 'os9 modbust' to bust the  
individual modules from the bootfile and go from there.  That is  
assuming you can extract the contents of the floppy to a disk image.

Also, please share with me how you got DriveWire to work on a Dragon,  
as that is not a supported platform for the DriveWire product.  Did  
you purchase DriveWire, and if so, did you modify the driver, etc?
