You would need an OS9 driver and boot module to use LBA mode.  These have
already been written for NitrOS-9.

The sources are here:
SDC Driver (using rbSuper)
<https://sourceforge.net/p/nitros9/code/ci/default/tree/level1/modules/llcocosdc.asm>
SDC Boot Module
<https://sourceforge.net/p/nitros9/code/ci/default/tree/level1/modules/boot_sdc.asm>


While it is possible to use multiple SDC boards in an MPI, neither the
existing drivers nor SDC-DOS support this.
