[Coco] Your stock CoCo is DriveWire-ready out-of-the-box (was: DriveWire for dummies?)

[Jeremy Michea]

No I have no problem getting the drivewire cable. I just want to make sure I 
get all the right equipment at once whether from cloud 9 or otherwise. I'm 
still just confused on if its just the drivewire cable only or if I need a 
rom pak to go with it.
