[Coco] question about file transfers from PC

[Stephen Adolph]

Hi all,

If I understand the drivewire product,

I need to have a switchable EEPROM containing the HDB-DOS image, and
standard DOS, in order to use drivewire AND my floppies.

IE when it is time to access files via PC, reboot the machine with the
drivewire software available in the cartridge, and if I want to use
the floppies, switch back to normal DOS.

Gee, that seems a bit clumsy to me.

>From reading the drivewire documentation, it seems that a drivewire
package was available that loaded from RS-DOS.

To me, that seems like the right thing to do.

The way it stands, if I were to use the "eeprom adapter" to upgrade my
FD-501 with the HDB-DOS image, I end up with a pretty clumsy set up
(assuming I still want to use my floppy drives, which I do) because
HDB-DOS does not support floppies, so I have to switch the eeprom
(which is hidden by the case cover) and reboot.


Do I have an accurate understanding?


Thanks.
Steve
