If your VHD image has no OS9 partition preceding the virtual Disk Basic
images, you can use SDC-DOS to access them. Use the DRIVE command to mount
the VHD image just like you would for a floppy disk image.

  DRIVE 1, "HDRIVE.VHD"

The method used in SDC-DOS to access the individual diskettes differs from
that of HDBDOS. For example, using HDBDOS you might load a program from
disk 170 with a command like this:

  LOAD "170:PROGRAM"

In SDC-DOS you must "map" the drive number which was used to mount the VHD
image onto one of the target diskettes within the image:

  DRIVE 1,170
  LOAD "1:PROGRAM"
