[Coco] Vcc+DW4 to access real floppy drive on Coco-3 ?

[Aaron Wolfe]

I don't know of any way to access the drives of one coco from another coco,
real or emulated.

You can access both DriveWire drives and real floppy drives on the *same*
coco, whether real or emulated, and whether in BASIC or OS9, so it would
seem there is little reason to need access to one coco's drive from another.

Maybe you could describe what the goal is, I'm sure someone knows how to
accomplish the end results if they are possible.
