[Coco] Problems with a Music Program in the CoCo Archives.

I downloaded
        Orchestra Master 1.1 for HDB-DOS, Coco SDC & DrivePak (Public 
Domain)
from https://colorcomputerarchive.com/repo/Disks/Music/

I am using a 512K 6309 Based CoCo3 with a '86 GIME
with a SDC cartrige runing SDC-DOS 1.6 through the mini-MPI using the 
recomended settings.

THE PROGRAM WILL

LIST THE DIRECTORY WITH THE D command
But will NOT change directory to the second drive with the D 1

And when I try to use R filename to read the file it cannot be seen.

I have uploaded my atempts to use this program ORCH11.BIN

to a disk image I call ORCH11.DSK
that image I have uploaded to http://jechar.ca/coco/TEMPORARY/ORCH11.DSK

Note I have added a program called PREP.BAS which prepares the system to 
use the ORC90 card
to access the SDC drive.  The ORCH90 Card works just fine as long as 
PREP.BAS is ran or the
two poke commands you will find in it's source are executed.

ORCH11.BIN works best if PREP.BAS is NOT ran but even then does nothing 
useful as it can display a directory
but cannot load or save a music file. Perhaps the code needs patching to 
work better with this version
of the CoCoSDC. I however am not an assembly language programmer so 
cannot look into that myself.
