I'm REALLY rusty on my Apple II stuff, but IIRC, you swap drives with the
D command (D1 for drive one D2 for drive 2).

So for a catalog, it is "catalog D2" to show what is on drive 2. And IIRC
once it is issued, it stays on the last drive used, so from there, RUN
and similar commands will effect drive 2. You would issue a new "catalog
D1" to swap back to drive 1.


Ok, that is my rusty as hell rememberance (I haven't done anything on an
Apple II in YEARS other than boot them to see if they come on), so I am
eager to see just how wrong my memory is.
