I've just done the disassembly of the DInkeydos file. It is separated into two parts:

- $2000..$21FF: the init part and relocation routine of part 2
- $2200..$31FF: moved to $D000..$DFFF, it contains the I/O routines which contain a RWTS.

Yes, the DOS 3.3 RWTS with some code to transform file ops requests into disk drive read/writes.

Really funny!

That DOS uses 4KB and U5 loads data at $E000 (..$FFFF), I believe switching to ProDOS (P8) will not be possible. And with the room available, adding support for folders may be difficult...
