Yes, that will work too. However HDBACK allows you to copy from any DriveWire disk any virtual floppy drive to any other DriveWire disk on any virtual floppy drive on a real CoCo 3, without using an emulator and without using a real floppy drive for temporary storage.

> Barry, I thought someone had done this, but couldn't remember who. I wrote a similar program in basic back when I was first starting out with DW4 but I think it was in my archives when my HD crashed. I eventually figured out how to do it with VCC and never revisited that program.
> With Vcc (even in rgbdos, no dw needed), just put the image in drive0 the VHD in H0, type DRIVEOFF and BACKUP0TO255. To get the drive 0 tools disk into slot 0, do this: DRIVEOFF:BACKUP0TO4:DRIVEON:BACKUP4TO0
