It doesn't work with games that doesn't work under BDOS2. Why? Because in NON-TR
games,
when the MegaSCSI kernel is BDOS2, then the boot is BDOS2 boot. And then? Well...
On SD-Snatcher, the computer falls to basic. On Metal Gear 2, the game hangs in some
places. On Konami Game Colletion (all of them) the computer go to basic... It's weird.

On TR, when BDOS1 disk is identified, it automaticaly changes to BDOS1 BEFORE the
boot. This is a strange action, but it really happens.
But this games are not the problem, since I'll not change its situation (unless I
change
it's code). The problem is that make a floppy image to run a FILE game is the
same as kill an ant with a cannon ball.

Again, it will boot under BDOS2. I have no way to boot BDOS1 and MegaSCSI
stay enabled.
Note: I'm talking about BDOS and not DOS programs (MSXDOS/COMMAND).

My problem is the reboot. I don't want it.
