[Coco] Strange issue with Drivewire 4.3.3o

[Bill Pierce]

Barry, have you tried updating Java? What you describe sounds like it might be a Java problem. It was found the later versions of DW4 have a skightly higher Java level requirement than thought originally.
Macs especially seem to be sensitive to this from what I've seen here on the list.
DW4 4.1.0 is definately too old. It's missing a lot of features and bug fixes.
4.3.3o is what you need to be running.

Also, what version of NitrOS9 are you running on the Coco? If it's lower than 3.3.0, then you also need to update NitrOS9 to the current build.

I don't own a Mac, so it's hard to tell. Mac seems to be finicky from one OS to the next. There are several Mac users on the list that may be able to help further.

I recently tried to use the newest Drivewire server, version 4.3.3o, and I
started getting read errors on the Drivewire disks. If I mount the same disks
using Drivewire 4.1.0, they work fine. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a 32 bit
intel Mac mini with a Keyspan USB --> RS232 serial adapter. For now I switched
back to running 4.1.0. The other thing I noticed with 4.3.3o is that the
configuration wizard crashes, so I had to configure the settings manually, but
if refuses to work reliably either with the same settings I use with 4.1.0 or
various other settings I have tried.
