Not sure I understand what you're trying to say, Luis. The SuperIDE has 
four selectable Flash RAM  banks for loading an OS or ROM image of your 
choice.
Are you saying you don't see a benefit to having access to real floppy 
equipment, DriveWire and the SuperIDE all at the same time without 
having to boot to a different OS?

Someone smarter than I am can chime in on this, but, I don't think 
there's a software solution for this. Some programmers wrote their own 
disk access routines instead of using standard RS-DOS routines (ex.: 
DSKCON). I believe that's where most of the problems with some of the 
multi-disk games are problematic.
