subject: DriveWire 4 for the Color Computer

Replying to a message of William Schaub to All:

 WS> I'm typing this message on my Color Computer 3 running
 WS> NitrOS9 with the DriveWire 4 software.

 WS> Drivewire allows me not only to emulate a disk drive to boot
 WS> NitrOS9 off the serial port. but it also provides multiple
 WS> virtual incoming terminal connections to OS9, an outgoing
 WS> virtual modem and a telnet command.

 WS> there's also support for a coco http server and you can even
 WS> mount disk images over the web from inside the coco.

 WS> This is the software I always wanted to have on my coco now
 WS> I can do all sorts of evil things with it finally instead
 WS> of watch it collect dust. 

 WS> I might even start up a board sometime down the road. 

It's certainly possible.  This system is running on a 486/66.

I have an acquaintance that for years ran a BBS on a Heath
H-8 (which is an 8080 chip with a whopping 64KB of RAM).
He also wrote software to allow Fiddonet software to run on
CP/M systems - mainly because 'they' said it couldn't be done .
