[Coco] DW4 with CoCo 2

[Bill Pierce]

I downloaded the Drivewire4 zip from Aaron's Drivewire4 site. I see no HDBDOS or anything of that nature. Just the files for the PC end. Is there somewhere else to download the package? If so, please give a link. I've made the cable and Drivewire is reporting it got the correct signal from the Coco when it started. All I need now is access.
Thanx for you help :-)

Actually, you can boot NitrOS9 from HDBDOS. The Audio files were included with 
y DW4 zip file.
To boot OS9:
tart DW on your PC
ount the DW NitrOS9 image in drive 0 of the DW server on your PC.
Load HDBDOS on your CoCo.
ype DOS and NitrOS9 boots up.

 my question is where do I download the cassette file? If I understand these 
osts correctly, with the HDBDOS rom loaded, I can access the PC from RSDOS, 
orrect?
 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 
nd you have to have an M/L loader program that will transfer it to the rom area 
nd the exec it.
 I have no way to make real disks from disk images so I can't install the 
itros9 version until I can access my PC so will the HDBDOS cassette load allow 
e to access my PC from RSDOS so I can boot Nitro?

 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,
