(there is no dw4 rom or hdbdos.  dw4 uses the drivewire 3 hdbdos).

 I downloaded the Drivewire4 zip from Aaron's Drivewire4 site. I see no HDBDOS 
r anything of that nature. Just the files for the PC end. Is there somewhere 
lse to download the package? If so, please give a link. I've made the cable and 
rivewire is reporting it got the correct signal from the Coco when it started. 
ll I need now is access.
 Thanx for you help :-)

 Actually, you can boot NitrOS9 from HDBDOS. The Audio files were included with
 y DW4 zip file.
 To boot OS9:
 tart DW on your PC
 ount the DW NitrOS9 image in drive 0 of the DW server on your PC.
 Load HDBDOS on your CoCo.
 ype DOS and NitrOS9 boots up.

  my question is where do I download the cassette file? If I understand these
 osts correctly, with the HDBDOS rom loaded, I can access the PC from RSDOS,
 orrect?
  does the file have a loader to transfer it to the rom area? I know you can't
 directly" load a rom into place as you overwrite the code that is loading it
 nd you have to have an M/L loader program that will transfer it to the rom 
rea
 nd the exec it.
  I have no way to make real disks from disk images so I can't install the
 itros9 version until I can access my PC so will the HDBDOS cassette load allow
 e to access my PC from RSDOS so I can boot Nitro?

  Just to confirm, I have it working as desired now. I set the HDBDOSmode to
  true under Advanced Settings and now the drives behave like typical floppy
  disks. Thanks.
  Cheers,
