Hello,
along this time (a bit more than a month) no feedback received, so it is not used by nobody or
it seems to be enough stable.
I know that Ed Snider (Zippster) is including this ROM in a bank of the CoCo-SDCs he is selling.
There are some users that show up in FaceBook ... 137 members now and growing!
I have been testing and thinking about possibles scenarios / configurations and finally I found one
that resulted in error:
Imagine a set of four drives 1-2-3-4 with an MPI and the CoCo-SDC. Nice one, for sure
Normally, as with CoCo-SDC, the user reserves 1-2 for the floppies and links 3-4 to drivewire.
But, of course, if anybody wants to have the other way round:
reserve 3-4 for floppies and use 1-2 for drivewire, he can do ... but there is a possible problem:
If you want to copy files or a disc between your floppy at unit 4 and SDC drive1, the system will
need to switch from the SDC slot to the floppies slot and this is not allowed in version 0.24.E6,
simply because I didn't think it could happen
In fact it works nicely with floppies at 1-2.
Now I am uploading a definitive version 0.25.00 that allows this configuartion and should switch alright.
At the same time I am uploading the source file. You can use it at your will.
To me, it is open source, freeware the way you want to call it.
Anyway, if you make some changes to correct a bug or add any new command, I would ask you to
share this 'better' versions in this thread, for instance.
Thanks in advance. Have fun!
cheers

Ps The zip file contains:

- a folder with files for Drivewire4
- a document with the changes history
