This would be possible but we'd need a few things

1) a function call that returned the "block number" for each of the 4 named
BP Sardine ROMs.
2) a uniform naming convention for REX# image names for each of these 4 roms
3) a function call that switched ROM images
4) modified BP roms to use these calls.  Some analysis of how it works on
BP would be needed.

It actually seems like a reasonable goal.  Bit of a shame not to be able to
use software architected to use bank switching with REX# (or REXCPM for
that matter).

I'd be willing to create an API for this in REX manager, and "lock it in"
so it does not change.
