Aaron,

I just tried this version 4.0.3 and have some questions.

In one regard it does not work as well as Drivewire3. When I try to mount .vhd
disk images that contain both OS-9 and Disk Basic partitions (MESS or VCC
format), Drivewire4 complains about insufficient memory.
These disk images will mount in Drivewire3 and can be used for both HDBDOS and
NitrOS-9.

Is this a problem with Drivewire4? Is this a problem of insufficient RAM in my
system, 768MB? If these drives (129MB default) can be used with Drivewire4, how
should DW4 be adjusted?
