> Hello,
> I have downloaded and installed 
> "Vcc.2.0.1b.Coco.3.Becker.Port.Emulation.setup.exe"
> It has created this MPI slots assignemets:
> Slot 1 - Orchestra-90  26-3143
> Slot 2 - HDBDOS/DW/Becker  00-0000
> Slot 3 - Hard Drive  + Cloud9 RTC
> Slot 4 - FD-502  26-3133

> I have the Drivewire server started and in the status line of VCC I can see:
> Skip:01 FPS:60 MC6809 @0,89MHz MPI:3,3 DW: ConOK R:00.0 W:00.0 HD:No Image 
> FD-502:Idle
> So, it seems that the drivewire connection has been made.
> But I cannot access any disk on the drivewire server.
> Any attempt to DIR n (0-3) returns the directory of the FD-502 disks
> I use drivewire with XRoar (emulating Dragon) without problems
> Is there any way of starting HDBDOS? When I select slot2 and reset, then
> it starts only with Extended Color Basic (?)
> For sure I am losing something ... or I need a guide to DW4 for VCC
> What I would like is to access any disk in DW4 and be able to start NitrOS-9
