Bill,

You should mainly refer to Cloud-9 to answer questions of this type as they 
support what they sell.

Keep in mind that you either access your own hard drive on the Coco or access 
the Drivewire server on your PC. You can't do both at the same time, far as I know.
That means if you want to transfer files from the Drivewire server to your Coco 
hard drive, you must do this by indirect means with a floppy or RAM disk as an 
intermediary.

So, unless I'm completely wrong (possibly) your question does not have an 
answer. There are different versions of HDBDOS and you should get them from

Since you already have a IDE installed, you don't need a new ROM with an updated 
HDBDOS. What you really want is the ability to access the Drivewire server on 
your PC from your Coco. For that purpose you just need a LOADM binary which will 
overlay your disk ROM and can be loaded either from a floppy or your IDE drive 
in the Disk Basic partition.

You have not indicated what model of Coco is in use so you will have to download 
the .zip file and select among HDBDW3CC1.BIN, HDBDW3CC2.BIN, and HDBDW3CC3.BIN.
A LOADM : EXEC should start HDBDOS for Drivewire.
