Yes, that works just fine. CoCoSDC mounts it as a standard floppy disk, but doesn't take advantage of LBA access mode so it's supposedly slower. Anytime I can "DOS" to shell in 3 seconds, I'm quite happy.

DRIVE 0,"40D_0"
DRIVE 1,"40D_1"
DOS

Then I have /d0 and /d1 -- all in hardware emulation mode using only the rb1773 driver. CoCoSDC is absolutely amazing.
