[Coco] DW4 error

[Bill Pierce]

Kandur, when you start DW4, click "config" then "Simple Config Wizard", click "next" on the first screen, then Click the picture of the Coco 3 and click "next". In the next page, select your Comm port and click next. On the remaining screens just click next as they are all the default settings (baud, midi, and printer). Then click "Finish" on the final page. That will setup dw4 for the coco3 and baud rates.
All of this is on the instruction page you linked. If you followed those instructions, then the baud is set.
