Not correctly. You need a proper descriptor or you won't access the 
drive correctly even if it seems to work. You can use dmode to examine 
the 88mb descriptors and then create your own 40meg descriptors with the 
correct cylinder, head, and sectors-per-track values.

It won't work that way for modules that need to be in system space. What 
you need to do is merge into a single file the driver and descriptors 
that you want to test. Load the merged file and then iniz the 
descriptors. You should not get a ram full error.
