One option is to make your current disk something other than the CD-ROM,
then use the msdos "join" command to make the CD-ROM disk appear as a
subdirectory under your writeable disk.  Russ Nelson has some patches to
KA9Q (they may already have been merged into the master source by Phil)
that make this work better/easier.
