[Coco] Sdc multi disk use

[My Email]

That would work. I do the same thing with my glenside.   The flash program on each. Dsk is identical except for the data lines telling the program what Bins are on that disk and what disk number is next.   So I could just add the line that mounts the disk and then do a '. RUN "*.  bas".

Thanks for the options

An alternative would be to have the program execute a DRIVE statement that
mounts the next disk image.  For this method the program would obviously
need to know the name of the disk image file.
