Confirmed, it must be checked on

And that works.  One last question, understanding that my rsdos experience 
is limited since I've been running os9 since '85 or so, where do the 
switches take place between dw access and hdb-dos access, the usual drive3 
is still dw, but drive4 is then an hdb-dos vdisk/file from the hard drive?

It may be that when I ran wired.bas, I did get the proper response but did 
not have dw's server set for hdb-dos translation mode.  It needs a page of 
docs to explain some of these "gotchas'. ;)

However, once explained, it seems to work, and will certainly be a valuable 
tool in our toolbox.

Thank you very much Luis.

Cheers, Gene
