As long as the program could work with a hard drive DRIVE 0, it can work with this trick. You just adjust the offsets to any virtual drive appears as DRIVE 0.

Default:  0-255 drives.

CoCoMax is installed on DRIVE 42.

POKE offsets so RGB-DOS thinks the first drive is located where DRIVE 42 is.

DIR 0 -- now shows the contents of what was DRIVE 42 :)

But, programs that would not work under RGB-DOS still will not work.
