The way OS-9 is architected makes it well suited to change a low-level
device and still have good compatibility. Changing from a real floppy
drive to drivewire should work best with OS-9 software. OS-9 software
generally doesn't directly talk to the hardware.

For source sitting on a PC with drivewire server running, it should be
as simple as copying the source to a disk image. Then mount the disk
image in the drivewire server. Then the source will be available to
the CoCo.
