It can. Just change _curunit before opening a file.

I think it is. read(), write() and friends will have to adjust their work
depending on the output device, which in turn means you need "real" drivers,
with function vectors, the handle must encode the driver, and so on.
Currently, the POSIX functions are machine dependent, which means that the
changes have to go into all the existing sources. Doesn't sound like an easy
task for me...

Hmmm. How about implementing a RAM disk via a driver, and add another
(platform dependent) module that links the first one into the CBM kernal
calls?
