[Coco] *SOLVED* Drivewire 4: nos96809l1v030209coco2_dw3.dsk format??

[David Ladd]

Chad,

Sadly would have to manually build the boot module & driver from the repo.
I haven't looked at the repo in so long not sure if there is even a build
option for the DW4 based modules right now.  In this case Tormod, Bill,
Boisy, or Gene would probably have more info.
