I've got a version of D of D which works with Drivewire. In fact, it works when
DW HDBDOS is loaded from disk and not in ROM. The only thing to remember is that
the game needs an explicit exec.
LOADM"DAGGORAT":EXEC
The game is available at
http://tandycoco.com/rsdos.html
on GAMES23.DSK from one of the collections. It will be in Briza's Collection but
that is massive. I believe it is in COCO 1,2&3 GAMES in a Coco Games Disks sub
folder.
