I am not sure yet, I still have to fully go through the DFIX code.

Now I know I have installed a custom version of Disk Basic and SDC-DOS on
my CoCoSDC so that my version of the ROM's have the bits set so that drive
2 is the back side of 0, and drive 3 is the back side of 1.  This allows me
to use both sides of the disk on real floppies and in disk images.

Though patching Disk Basic so that can run in high speed mode and access HD
floppy disks on my 26-3029 with the replaced crystal and data seperator
will be nifty. :D
