[Coco] Drivewire question

[Tim Fadden]

Another good reason, is to be able to use DW3 without a Multi-Pak, or 
log into the os9 system via the serial port, and access the DW3 drives 
at the same time, or even be booted off of DW3.  The bitbanger is mostly 
a wasted port any way. IMNSHO.  DW3 is a great use for it.
