Oops, it looks like cocoCoding is back up now, so disregard the previous updater warning.

In DW4Man, I also forgot to mention that the internet "update" function is 
current;ly out of order. It's not a DW4Man problem but a problem with Aarons 
"Cococoding" site that I'm using for the update site. Something is stopping the 
updater from accessing the site. This is also true with the updater in the 
latest DriveWire.

I've recently found a bug in DW4Man and using the interface with Vcc. If you try 

to read a PC's HD while in "normal" speed (vcc overclock), it will freeze the 
OS9 system. You must run the overclock function at least about 2 "clicks" (about 

71.520 Mhz) for DW4Man to run properly. The problem is between my DW4 driver and 

the Vcc Becker port buffers. I am current;y re-writing the drive to try to solve 

this problem. Some slower machines may have to clock even faster.
As far as I know, DW4Man will run fine on a real Coco 3. Mine is currently out 
of order so I can't do any tests right now till I get it fixed so if you have 
any problems on a real Coco 3, please let me know.

Thanks
