DriveWire 3

Documentation	FAQ

If you always wanted to find a useful way to share space on your PC hard drive with your CoCo, then you will love DriveWire 3. DriveWire 3 turns your PC into a full file server for your CoCo under Disk BASIC or NitrOS-9. With 38,400 bits per second achievable on a CoCo 1, a fast 57,600 bits per second on a CoCo 2 and a blazing 115,200 bits per second on a CoCo 3, you will never use a floppy disk again.

The best part is that no additional hardware is needed. Simply plug one end of the DriveWire cable into the CoCo's built-in RS-232 port, and the other end into your PC serial port. Install the accompanying software and your personal computer's hard drive is your CoCo's to use!
