Assuming the .vhd drive is formatted on those 256 drives you can I/O them if you 
are using an RGBDOS or HDBDOS ROM. The distribution of VCC makes use of my 
RGBDOS ROM for emulators and gives access to such a disk.

If you are using MESS instead of VCC, I can supply you with a ROM image. If you 
have a Cloud-9 system and HDBDOS, you should be set. Both the Cloud-9 site and 
my site hosted by Aaron

have documentation on how these DOS should be used and a command list.
