[Coco] too much work?

[CoCoList for Color Computer Enthusiasts]

Once you have drivewire running, it is easiest simply to stop using
physical disks altogether.  If your goal is to run coco software found on
the Internet, it's a good solution.. Click a disk image on a Web page and a
second later you're running the program on your coco.

If you are looking for an easier way to write files to physical floppies, I
don't think there is much advantage in using Drivewire over what you are
doing now.  Both require several steps.
