Well you can't do both simultaneously. That is you can access either the 
PC hard drive or the Coco hard drive. However, as I am able to use 
HDBDOS for DriveWire3 without burning an EPROM, it is trivial to run 
either RGBDOS with a KEN-TON scsi interface or DriveWire3 and a .vhd 
virtual hard drive.

There is a separate posting of my test results that has more details.
