[Coco] save to disk

[Bill]

That's the problem: I don't have a floppy disk with the HDBDOS image. I've
loaded using cloadm, and now I'm trying to save it to disk, but it needs the
machine location of the start, the end, and the execution point. And I don't
have those.

I think the idea is:

1)  Get HDB-DOS for drivewire running on your coco any way, in your case via

the cassette and cloadm
2)  Have the drivewire server running on your PC
3)  Mount a DSK file in drivewire server that contains a complete image of a

HDB-DOS floppy disk.  Mount the DSK as a drive 1
4)  From the coco, access the DSK image using commands such as

DRIVE OFF 0
    this tells hdb-dos to access physical drive 0 on coco

BACKUP 1 to 0

If the DSK image is mounted as drive 1, then this will copy the contents of 
the DSK to a physical disk inserted in drive 0.

You may need to DSKINI 0 if it is unformatted.
