Thanks David, I wasn't really sure, I just remember you renaming some things for DW4.

Bill,

As far as the stuff I was doing had nothing to do with the DW4 named
ROM's.  Only the becker ones that should have replaced the DW3 to BECKER.

Kip,

The 230K mode you can set under the DW4 server via the pull down menu for
baud rate, but you must also set the special reversed bit option or what
ever it is.  Its the special mode to get the best possible baud rate out of
the CoCo3 doing special bit tricks.  There should be a doc on how to
configure the DW4 server for this mode, but I myself have never used these
ROM's.  I wanted to stay in the norm of RS232 COM's.  Makes it easier for
tracing down problems.

The main reason for all ROM versions for being build though was is for ease
of picking the one you want after building.  In most cases the DW3 CC3
should be the one you want for the CoCo3 and the DW3 CC2 for the CoCo2 and
the DW3 CC1 for the Coco1.  Though if you really want to play with the DW4
spec ROM you will need to configure the DW4 to use special settings.
