Boisy,

I tried DriveWire for the first time today.  It was the only way I 
could get a copy of NitrOS-9 running due to my Super Controller 
issues.  I downloaded HDB-DOS/DriveWire and copied the ROM over to my 
CoCo using CoCoNet, burned the EPROM, stuck it in my wireless pak, 
launched the DriveWire.exe server and mounted one of the NitrOS-9 
.dsk images from the DriveWire page, typed DOS, and NitrOS-9 booted 
up nicely.  Great work.

However, sc6551 nor t2 were in the boot, so I loaded them from 
/dd/nitros9/6809l2/modules/scf/

I immediately told my PC to connect to the wireless pak.  It did, at 
9600 bps.  The /t2 descriptor appears to be set to 9600 as well.

The first thing I tried was echo hello >/t2

I get an Error #207 (Memory Full).
