[Coco] Dummy's guide to DriveWire?

[Chad H]

The PC I have dedicated to support my CoCo (.DSK imaging real disks, EPROM
burning, etc.) is running Win'98.

On that note, I've taken a glance at the DriveWire 4 site.  Looks
interesting....if complicated.  I think I grasp the idea behind DriveWire,
essentially to give it remote access to virtual drives, virtual modem, etc.
I'm not sure if I could get it up on a Win'98 box.  I guess I would need a
serial cable from my CoCo to the PC, so I would have to make one or figure
out where to acquire one...and what about programs or ROM's to actually
enable the DriveWire support on the CoCo?  I didn't see any discussion of
this on the site or in the DriveWire download files.

I apologize though, I realize I might have a better idea of how to go about
getting it running if I had been paying real attention to the DriveWire
related threads.  Just trying to determine if it would be worth the effort
to add in DriveWire ability to my setup.

Hi,

Well the "CoCoDskUtil" install did complete on the Casper WIN 98 SE Virtual
Machine and it started up.

When I opened a .dsk file with "CoCoDskUtil" it appeared to work, but I did
not try any commands.

So it is worth a try.

As you may be the only person wanting to run it on Win 98 SE, do not except
much support!

Known problem, that's why Aaron Wolfe agreed to host the Distro.
