[Coco] Dragon & Drivewire

[Ken H.]

Good news!
I've got Drivewire running on my Dragon (in CoCo mode with dual Dragon/CoCo
roms).
I've successfully loaded DECB dsk images as well as NitrOS9 Level 1.
Everything seems to be working fine so far.

I'm using the Max232 level shifter and a 74LS04 inverter.
I've put a small tutorial for anyone who wants to give it a try at the
Dragon Archive forum

Thanks Darren  Phill & Aaron  :)
