[Coco] DriveWire 3 Updates

[Ryan Pritchard]

<bow> Thank you kind sir (Boisy)!  </bow>
I could be wrong thinking I was the only CoCo 1 user pleading with you to
repost DriveWire 2 so that the CoCo 1 users out there could still have
access to your great product.  Yet here you go and add CoCo 1 support to
DriveWire 3, not to mention some printing support that someone else had
suggested.  And to top it off you are offering it free of charge to anyone
with their own ROM burning facilities.

I don't have ROM burning facilities myself but that is fine I have no
problem paying for the burnt ROM (and I presume a DOS Adapter because of my
FDC cartridge uses the 24pin ROM) or ROM cartridge, or choosing the SuperIDE
Interface and requesting you write the ROM to the first bank of Flash ROM on
the adapter since I don't have an MPI (heck if I choose the SuperIDE
Interface I should probably request you to burn the CoCo 1 DriveWire ROM to
bank 1, and the CoCo 2 ROM and CoCo 3 ROM to bank 2 and 3 respectively so
that if in the future I acquire different CoCo model I will already have the
ROMs ready to go - then again maybe I can write the other ROMs to those
banks myself since I would technically have that ability)

Anyway, just wanted to say cheers because of the latest development for
DriveWire.
