[Coco] Drivewire on Windows Vista?

>From the PC to where ? To a real Coco floppy drive ?

If' the answer is yes, you should:

1) set hdbdos mode on drivewire (menu option, tools I don't remember)
2) mount a .dsk on a drive # higher than the drive unit you want to copy
to. You can mount always on #4
3) put a diskette into drive 0
4) type: DRIVE OFF
5) if it's not formatted, type: DKSINI 0
6) BACKUP 4 TO 0

There you go, you backed up the dw disk #4 into your real fllopy drive.

You can use copy as well:

COPY"GAME.BIN:4" TO 0

And the reverse is true, to transfer from coco to PC just change the source
and target drives.
