Thanks Bill, done that 5 or 6 times.
I was wondering if the COM-1 port on the PC is
set up by that to the proper baud rate and flow control?
You may want to look at this,
http://qdv.pw/coco/blog/2014/06/30/dw4-progress-report/ 
The disk image is loaded in DW server's drive 0, 
and if I type 'DOS 0' on the Coco, I got '? IO ERROR'.
