[Coco] [Color Computer] Drivewire 3 breaks BASIC

[Arthur Flexser]

It sounds to me like the IRQ interrupt processing has been disabled.
Another symptom of this would be that the value returned by PRINT
TIMER does not change.  You might try POKE&HFF03,&H35 to see if that
fixes it by reenabling interrupts in the PIA.
