Why would you want to do that? There would be no benefit of any kind in 
using Drivewire with an emulator. Emulators already can use emulated 
hard drives and the MESS emulator can send data to a PCs printer.

If you want to use more than one hard drive with a Coco emulator, the 
John Collyer version of the Vavassour Coco3 emulator can mount two hard 
drives at the same time. All the others can easily change the mounted 
hard drive at will.

You certainly don't need Drivewire to get 40 or 80 columns of text on a 
Coco3 emulated or real. Take a look at the MESS or VCC emulators.
