[Coco] Level 1 & Drivewire

[Chad H]

Using DriveWire on NitrOS9 level 1 here with my CoCo 2.  Yes, it works great at 'normal' speed.   Double speed works well in HDBDOS but not with the current files in the repo.  Something was broken on the newer files.   Should not effect NitrOS9 though.

Bill, the repo "latest" has disk images of NitrOS9 L1 w/dw.
I have used L1 & DW4 with both my Coco 1 & my Coco 2 as well as with XRoar.
The only thing is the standard L1 DW distro disk does not leave much ram... you may need to strip out a few unneeded modules to get some memory back. The Coco 1 disks have dw drivers that run at 38400 baud (due to odd serial setup) and Coco 2 disk have drivers for 57600 baud (can't double speed a Coco 2).

DriveWire works nicely on NitrOS9 L1 :-)

Hey All,  I have a question.  Has anybody tried or is it even possible to use Drivewire on Level 1 Nitros9?I’m curious as I now have Neal Crooks Level1 Nitros9 with 4 DS Drives setup with 512K Ram (only 64k used under Level 1) and would like to get the further Drive access and communication a lot better.I have Drivewire Servers already setup and working from emulators, but wonder if Level1 has the same capability.Bill Nobel-- Coco mailing listCoco at maltedmedia.comhttps://pairlist5.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/coco
