[Coco] Drivewire 3 Question

[Derek]

Got toolshed but Windows 7 is giving me fits when I run any of the utilities it flashes like I am trying to run an old DOS program. The docs said to copy them to a place in my path so I tried to copy them to c:\ root and also to my windows directory, tried compatibility modes too. 

I feel so stupid asking but anyone have any experience with toolshed and Windows 7?

Thank you

I haven't looked at toolshed lately so my memory may be flawed but that ability should
exist as part of toolshed.

When I use a real coco disk and use the HGB-DOS Drive on-Off command I can make it so that the real Coco disk drive is assigned drive 0 so that makes it easy to copy real disks to the virtual image using the backup command backup 0 to 20 for example.
