[Coco] DW4 with CoCo 2

my question is where do I download the cassette file? If I understand these posts correctly, with the HDBDOS rom loaded, I can access the PC from RSDOS, correct?
does the file have a loader to transfer it to the rom area? I know you can't "directly" load a rom into place as you overwrite the code that is loading it and you have to have an M/L loader program that will transfer it to the rom area and the exec it.
I have no way to make real disks from disk images so I can't install the Nitros9 version until I can access my PC so will the HDBDOS cassette load allow me to access my PC from RSDOS so I can boot Nitro?

ot work with windows vista and 7 and only xp?

ant to do the tape load thing and does the disk controller
ave to be hd dos or whatever I've heard mentioned or can it be a regular radio

 Just to confirm, I have it working as desired now. I set the HDBDOSmode to
 true under Advanced Settings and now the drives behave like typical floppy
 disks. Thanks.
  Cheers,
