[Coco] DriveWire survey results

[Bill Pierce]

I think the problem with no one using the dw4 midi, is that they assume they need a Midi keyboard. They don't realize that you "just use it". Load Lyra, run, and .... Music.... Load Ultimuse3, run it... and Music...
 
Being a musician, I'm probably prejudiced here :-)
I cut my "midi" teeth on the Coco back in the 80s

Some thoughts:

It looks like nearly noone uses Coco 1 or 2s.  That surprised me.
However, we do have plenty of Dragon users.

BASIC vs OS9 remains about an even split.

Linux is more used than I knew.  I will put more effort into making
future versions smooth on Linux.

For the "how do you use drivewire section", all I see is that almost
everyone uses it for existing local disk images.  the answers for
downloading/exploring new software and writing new software are even
across the board from never to always..

the "priorities" section has some clear information.  disk services
and networking services are very popular.  MIDI is somewhat hated :(
The others are pretty flat I guess.  So.. disk and networking will get
the most love going forward.  MIDI stays if for no reason other than I
like it :)
