[Coco] The thrill of CoCo'ing again

[spereira1952 at comcast.net]

I am using a Dell Mini-10 miniature laptop, running Windows XP for Drivewire 4. The connection goes through a generic USB-to-RS-232 converter and the Drivewire cable to the CoCo. IIRC, I have been running for something like 3 months, putting the laptop to sleep when I am not using it, and I have suffered only one crash during that time. That crash happened when I was doing a lot of activity, checking out my new SDC, with lots of power on & off cycles on the CoCo side of things, so I may have brought the crash on myself.

Linux distributions, and OS X.

Until they are sorted out, I think you will have better luck with literally 
any other choice, or even in a virtual machine on your Yosemite box (a VM 
running any os except Yosemite).
