[Coco] OS9 help needed.

[Bill Pierce]

Walter, as for the R6551AP serial IO chip, there's been some work on using DriveWire with other options. I think David Ladd was the person working on this. I'm not sure what he has going, but he may be able to give you more info. I noticed he's added a few options to some things on the repo, like using the parallel port on the J&M controller for DW, but I'm not sure what else he was working on.

Thanks Bill

DW4 server side I'm familiar with from VCC.

I think I will order the mini FLASH plugin and cable from Cloud-9 that comes with HDBDOS already installed. I have a multipack. I also have a boosted 10 meter USB cable I just need the serial to USB adapter!

My CoCo III has a R6551AP serial IO chip build it.  Can the drivewire drivers on the CoCo OS9 side be configured to use this rather than the standard bitbanger?  Doesn't matter if it can't but just interested!

Walter
