[Coco] Using HDB-DOS for DriveWire 3

[Tim Fadden]

Alan,

The HD image supplied has nitros9 on it already. I have a HDB-DOS rom, 
only for the drive wire access on one of my machines. On the other that 
has 2 scsi drives, I created a boot disk with the drivewire drivers and 
descriptors.  I used dmode to on two of the dw descriptors to make them 
the same size as my hard drives.  One 105meg, and the other 207meg.  
using the tools I created two images of the proper number of sectors, 
and mounted them.  Now I can use dsave to backup my hard drives to the 
DW3 server, and restore etc.  Works great!  I also created a floppy boot 
disk with /x0 as /DD!  Start the boot from floppy, /dd takes over, and 
now I am running off of DW3.  Great for setting up a new hard drive on 
the coco. The choices are endless.

P.S. Whats the O for?  My dad's name was Orville.  ;-)
