I wrote a pair of drivers that allowed you to use ProDOS devices under
PCPI. One was for floppies and handled drives up to 2 MB, the other
was for hard disks and allowed up to 8 MB, but it had to be
non-removable (or you would have to make VERY sure to warm-boot
if you swapped. Bye bye data otherwise).

The trouble is that the vectors had to be sized in advance, so each
potential drive took up a k or so of your TPA.

All of the above is from memory. I could dig them up, but I'd rather
not have to. They're widespread, I would hope. :-/

>What about SCSI?

They are ProDOS devices, no?
