Yep, that page is a mess, i can see how you ended up using becker disks.
The disks that end in 'dw.dsk' are what you want, or you can use the disks
labeled 'for use with bitbanger' on the Drivewire 4 site.  They really dont
belong on the dw4 site but i keep them there because the nightly builds are
by nature prone to be broken or weird.
