This is correct, dw4 requires some bug fixes to the kernel that don't exist
for os9. It *might* be possible to use dw3 (or dw4 in its "dw3 only" mode)
with os9 to have disk access, I'm not sure. Also not sure if anyone ever
built the drivers for stock os9 anyway. For dw4 functionality like virtual
terminals or multiplexed serial channels you must have nitros9.

I am fairly certain that you're going to have to move up to NitrOS9 to
utilize DW4. I do believe I saw that posted by somebody in the know, that
DW4 was just too far along for stock OS9 any longer. Somebody please correct
me if I am wrong about that.
DW4 and NitrOS9 work together right out of the box. I think most if not all
of the people who wrote and/or are writing it are here, so you have the best
support group possible to help with any transition issues you may encounter.
Drive NitrOS9 for a couple of weeks and the speed difference alone will make
you a fan. You definitely want that DW4 connectivity.
