I worked out the ideal platform to test my code on. Kegs running on
Linux with 10+ drives in slot 7, 2 drives in slot 6 and 2 drives in
slot 5. It fills out the drive table with $FD08 vectors quite nicely.

Should the drive re-mapper program be:

1) A ProDOS system program requiring you to exit what you are doing
before running it.
2) A Binary program you can run from BASIC.SYSTEM
3) An Applesoft program with some 6502 code to read the Language card.

I might prototype it in BASIC first.
