[Coco] Drivewire mixed results...

[Michael C. Robinson]

I think the works with 98se bit is false.  I've had no luck even 
using a 16550AF serial port that I know works.  Switching from my 
486 to my Pentium 4 XP laptop outfitted with a prolific usb to 
serial adapter, drivewire worked.  I've been lied to before about 
works with Windows 98, but that was a different company called
usbgear.com and it was a sound card.  I'm very discouraged that 
Windows XP is the only version of Windows I have seen drivewire 
work with because XP and Vista presumably as well require 
activation.  The drivewire solution turns me off, if it worked 
with Linux even if it continued to be proprietary I'd be a
little warmer to it.

I could be wrong about drivewire not working with 98se, but has 
anyone here gotten it to work in that environment?  If only Boisy 
over at cloud9tech.com understood Linux, maybe there'd be a Linux
version.  At least I know now that the serial cable works.

Does anyone know how to create a blank dsk image?  I want to write
my own programs and use drivewire in place of the traditional disk
drive.
