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.
