In this video I will show you my current development CoCo BASIC development environment. The two magic pieces of the puzzle are that I'm using a Toshiba Flash Air WiFi SD card, configured to share itself on my home network, and a 3rd party tool from John Strong that gives me a full-screen notepad type editor and DSK image management capabilities.
I'm able to quickly write out my BASIC code using a full screen text editor, save that to the DSK image which resides on the SD card that is physically located and running on my CoCo/SDC and be able to load and run updates very quickly and easily.
While this is not 100% perfect or the complete holy grail solution, it's light years ahead of my previous process, and one step closer to ultimately using DriveWire.
