Roger:
What worked best for me before I started using Drivewire is the process 
that was described in the March 2006 issue of CoCo Nutz that was written 
by DJ Fowler.
The machine I used it on was an AMD Athlon 800mhz desktop with Asus K7V 
motherboard. I installed a DSDD 5.25 floppy as drive B: and set BIOS as 
a 5.25 drive (no setting for size).
The only problem that I encountered as remembering to keep the CoCo/OS9 
file names on the Windows SE system within the 8.3 naming conversion, so 
as to eliminate having to deal with the embedded tilde "~" in longer 
filenames.
