I tried using DriveWire 3 Server on my Mac and WIRED (which I've successfully used before) to transfer disk images to my CoCo 3's floppy drive, but this results in disks that won't boot and aren't readable under OS9 Level II. Is DW3+WIRED just for DECB disks? I know I've used it before successfully, but I don't recall whether I used it for OS9/Nitros9 disks.

It just occurred to me that this may just be a 35 vs. 40 track issue. The disk images I am trying to transfer have 40 tracks, and I bet WIRED is just transferring 35 of them.
