[Coco] POKEs and PEEKs in NitrOS-9?

Great, and if I had two working controllers, each in a different slot, how would I address them. PEEK and POKE commands do not work in NitrOS-9 (I know, I've tried)

This isn't correct. The FDC in a floppy controller is addressed by the
SCS* line and the SCS* line is switched by the MPI.

So software is fully in control to select any of the floppy controllers in the MPI.
