[Coco] Sierra games and DW

Hello.

I am trying to play The King's Quest games with a coco3 and drivewire4.

I downloaded KingsQuest1_dw.dsk from http://www.nitros9.org/latest/
I have a rompak in a COCO3 that has HDB-DOS 1.4 DW3 COCO 3 (Ive tried 1.2 also)
I am using the very latest DW4 in Windows.

When I mount the KingsQuest1_dw.dsk in drive 0 and type DOS to start Nitros9 starts to boot.
When it gets to i2xoC and then the coco just hangs sitting there forever doing nothing.

Any ideas on what is wrong or how to get this to work?

I tried to send the above earlier and it didn't work. But that worked out because in the meantime I discovered something.

If I move the rom chip to an actual FD502 controller the boot gets past i2xoC and the game starts.
So I would guess because Nitros9 is loading a driver or looking for the disk hardware.
So is there a version that doesn't do that so that people loading from a simple rompak or even tape can boot these games with DW and enjoy them?
