NOw, when I think about it, I think it could be reasonable.

I bet for MasterDOS, but from the other point of view .... hmmmm...
software which need MasterDOS usually have one.
The question is whether and what software needs SamDos, and don't work
with MasterDOS.
In case you have two images (SAMDOS, MDOS) on your hard drive, SimCOupe
could have an option which DOS to use.
It could be nice (at least for somebody) to have booted MasterDOS, even
when inserting a diskette with SamDos.
(The problematic issue: MasterBasic)
