Hey, along these same lines...forgive me if I have missed something
obvious or failed to do my research!

This may be asking too much but I'm wondering if there is some
reasonably easy way to obtain or produce an HDB-DOS image that can not
only use DriveWire to replace the floppy drives but also still access
the IDE or SCSI device for the virtual disks 4-255 (or 0-255 with
DRIVE OFF)?  If not, is there an existing copy program to facilitate
copying between a DW device and a non-DW HDB-DOS device?

P.S.  Why do I feel like I just added a project to my list...? :-)
