[Coco] Hi all. New to the list

John,

There is no such HDB-DOS image in existence.  There is simply not enough room in the 8K ROM area to support both DW and another interface type.

Now copying between different interfaces?  That is possible outside of HDB-DOS but would need an external program.

You going to have this ready by the fest? :)
