I don't see how it works at all. "dwio" is missing and DW4 will not work without it.

As far as I can tell the drivewire modules that ship
with the latest  NOS9_6809_L2_v030300_coco3_cocosdc.dsk
dated  03/07/2020 23:56 are broken I could not get drivewire to work on 
my system with them but when I
replaced those modules with modules cerca: 2018 that I
had successfully used on my SuperIDE system everything worked fine. For 
reference here is my module directory
transferred to this email via mdir >/p where p is the
drivewire printer and drivewire was run on a Java Host.

    Module Directory at 23:56:21
REL        Boot        Krn        KrnP2      IOMan      Init
RBF        rbdw3      dw3        X0          X1          X2
X3          RBSuper    llcocosdc  B00T        sd0C        sd0D
sd0R        SD1        DD          MRAM        R0          SCF
VTIO        KeyDrv      JoyDrv      SndDrv      CoGrf      Term

Date        DeIniz      Echo        Iniz        Link        Load
Save        Unlink      MDir

note #1: rbdw3 dw3 x0 x1 x2 x3 scdwp & p are the 2018 drivewire
          modules that make the system work.

PS:
note #2: /B00T /sd0C /sdoD and /sd0R replace  /sd0 to support
        a multi-partition disk image they have nothing to do
        with the drivewire and are /B00T a floppy disk image for
        booting the system. /sd0C a 128M Hard disk image for dd
        /sd0D a 40M Hard disk image data drive and
        /sd0R a backup of /B00T for restore purposes each at
        different offsets so they do not overlap.
