2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.

2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year.

2026-03-16: Special thanks to Don Barber for hosting a backup mirror of CoCopedia: https://cocopedia.dgb3.net

The DRIVEWIRE.ZIP can be downloaded Here. It contains the PC server software and images of HDB-DOS which can be used to access DriveWire from the Disk Extended BASIC environment, or DW3DOS to boot the Color Computer directly into NitrOS9.

The Contents of the file are:


The first three files are direct copies of the contents of "track 34" of a DriveWire boot disk. You have to use a disk editor and insert the file directly to track 34 and them mark the track in the gran table as used. Issuing the "DOS" command will then boot the system.
