You can probably put a lot more than 256 images on one card, especially if you organize the images into subdirectories. It is even possible that you might be able to put it all on one SD card. So I can better understand and help, are these floppy or hard disk images? OS-9/NitrOS9 or Disk Extended Color Basic? If hard disk images, how big was the drive? If floppies, are the disks 35 track, 40 track, or 80 track? Single or double sided, or maybe a mix?
