Mark,
DW3 does not have the functionanlity of dw4 and it would probably be worth it to find out why dw4 is having problems. From what I've seen on the list and elsewhere, most dw4 problems have been resolved by updating your java. I don't know if this is the case for you, but it's worth a try. DW4 is certainly worth it. Though dw3 will still allow reliable file transfer and virtual image use.

After a bunch of fumbling around, I've bootstrapped my CoCo3 up to being able to 
transfer disks from my Mac to floppy disks, using the DW3 server on the Mac and 
the Wired utility on the CoCo. I had to initially load HDB-DOS from a .WAV file, 
but now that I'm managed to transfer over the Wired disk I can just load up 
HDB-DOS from disk.

DW4 has been flaky on my Mac, and even forced me to power-cycle it once without 
a proper shutdown. DW3 seems to work just fine for me, though.

Thanks for the help, everybody!
