OK, I was sloppy when using controller instead of ROM pack. Most users 
will want the code in ROM so that hitting RESET or ALT/CTRL/RESET does 
not destroy the disk software.

I had not thought to try using a .wav or .cas file to load either 
Drivewire or CoCoNet. That's a very good idea if you feed the wave file 
directly from the PC to the Coco's cassette jack.
