I can't reproduce your problems. Using two .vhd drives where I can easily tell 
which is which, changing drives/directories in /W7 has no effect on /Term and 
all disk I/O is correct.

Did you try the RGBDOS.ROM I sent? It is the same one for two .vhd drives I 
currently use. I compile MESS and it is messui 0.154 Jul 25, 2014. NitrOS-9 is 
Level 2 V3.3.0 6309, but I may not be a pure distribution version.

Check the descriptors for /DD, /H0, and /H1. There should be drv=0 for /DD and 
/H0 and drv=1 for /H1. Ortherwise, the descriptors are the same.
