Update: The bug was my own... not present in the original RDISK. I updated "RDISK-S" for my FUZOMA project here, so I can now take your advice and drop the SRDisk Dummy Device Driver.

RDISK actually handles the drive letters more gracefully, anyway. It doesn't destructively occupy all the lower letters the way SRDISK does.

In practice I wasn't able to get this to work. I get the same Incorrect DOS Version error as always, so I'm continuing to keep the version check out of RDISK-S.
