[Coco] Drivewire on a Pi

Hi,

I´m using all the "holliday" I get from the worldcup to setup a CoCo
system. I'm installing right now the DriveWire on a Raspberry Pi.

My general idea is to setup a drivewire box, put all the DSKs files into
the SD card and be happy. It would be nice to play CAS files through the
audio output.

Up to now I installed Drivewirte on the Pi. It works but:

1) It's incredbly slow to run the server on the Pi (java in weak processors
is really painful!)
2) It sometimes gets out of sync os freezes. I need to restart the server
and the CoCo. Any ideas?
3) Haven't tested MIDI, network and other features. Yet. :)
4) Can I control (mount/unmount disks) through HBD-DOS? Or only through
OS-9? How?
5) Still have to try the 3 server. Does it comes with sourcecode?

BTW is there a sourcecode for cocotape? If not is there something similar.
I could write one, but it is exists already, I prefer.

If anyone is interested in exchange ideas or getting the .img file when it
ends, just drop a note!
