Well, after some research, looks like ELOAD by Skoe offers all the
compatibility and features I want. (multiple-drive autodetect / sd2iec
compatibilty even without jiffydos installed / 1mhz and 2mhz irq options).
Seems like the best of all worlds. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'm
gonna head down this road and see where it takes me.
