One way to go over the problem is to use WinVice 2.2 with access to the ZoomFloppy-attached drive, then use x64. Doing a 'load"$",8' there gives the directory of drive 1 (interesting thing is that if there is no disk in drive 1, it then tries drive 0 and if there's disk, it returns it's directory). When you send that command (getting a directory without a drive number) to Commodore's dual drive units, the DOS tries to read the directories from the disks in _both_ drives. The DOS remembers which drive was used most recently; it starts the directory listing with that drive; then, it lists the other drive. A similar thing is done when a program tries to open a file. If a drive number isn't used, then the DOS looks for the file on the most recently used drive. If it can't find that file, then the DOS looks on the other drive.
