[Coco] Playing dirty with the SuperIDE again

Hi,

I managed to copy DECB disks from DriveWire to SuperIDE and vice-versa
in BASIC :D

It only works with the dw in coco2 mode. The process is pretty simple
and can be run on a coco3 or coco2 (in allram) mode:

1) from superIDE booting in hdbdos mode (not the DW mode) load and
execute the HDBDOSC2.BIN from any virtual disk, or a floppy if you
wish
2) once in DW for CoCo2, attach the wired.dsk the DW server
3) run the BKP.BAS from the disk

it will prompt for source and target. Simple as that. Don't forget to
config your DW for coco2.

The HDBDOSC3 crashes when using this trick, so this is why i'm using
in coco2 mode. But works on coco3 pretty well

I will leave for you to figure out the simple trick I use :D

Enjoy
