[Coco] Drivewire and ADOS...

[Bill Pierce]

That page no longer belongs to Roger. He sold it and the business. If you backspace that URL to the actual address, you find the page for the drivepak which is now owned by "Infinitum Technology" according to the site.
But I swear I've seen that diagram long before Roger produced his stuff. People were doing file transfers with null modem cables long before drivepak and drivewire. I did it myself back in '95 on my first PC. I had a cable diagram form somewhere, though I think mine was in ascii graphics from Delphi or CIS.

But if it even "was" or "wasn't" Roger's, it will be exchanged for a different one. I will draw one myself to remove any controversy :-)
