RS-282 pak - I can't answer that question, anybody else?

There are numerous games and programs in general that will not run without
real floppy hardware due to using their own disk access routines. It sucks,
but, it's a fact...
This is where the flexibility of the DrivePak really shines, as long as you
have an MPI... You can switch between real disk hardware and the virtual
disks with a single command, and without hardware changeover.
