[Coco] newb: Can I use DriveWire with my CoCo 2?

[Aaron Wolfe]

The docs pretty much assume you have purchased or make for yourself a
DriveWire ROM.

It is possible to use DW without that, but tedious.  I haven't done it
myself but I think others have posted ways you can do that.

I downloaded DriveWire 4 and I'm running it on a laptop that I put next to the CoCo. I have the serial port and cassette port plugged into the laptop. I did a couple of test saves and loads with the cassette to Sound Recorder on Windoze so I know that's working.

But nothing anywhere tells me how I bootstrap my CoCo so that I can use DriveWire. Do I need to type in a BASIC bootstrap program? Load something from the cassette sent by the DriveWire app? Does anyone have a simple tutorial that I can follow?
