I might be forgetting something, but I am not sure why there would be
any difference in the DOS side for DW3 or DW4, or why a rom labeled
"DW4" exists at all.  The DriveWire 4 server was written to work with
the DW3 ROM, as this is the only ROM the author had and the thing
called "DW4 Server" was not intended to be a new version of the
DriveWire server at all when it was first written :)

Is the "DW4" rom maybe a version of Darren Atkinson's 230k speed
build?  If so, it would require a special cable and need special
settings on the server side to work.  Otherwise I am not aware of a
reason for a ROM labeled "DW4", although I still may be forgetting
something.
