The drive letter is a very valid concern for Atari Lynx also.

The Lynx hardware have two separate ROM banks and most carts have an 
eeprom for game saves.

So it would make sense to introduce three logical drives.

People are mostly used to map drives to letters (A: B: C: ...). My 
opinion is that we could stick to that convention.

For Atari Lynx the first rom can hold files from "A:0" to "A:4095".

The Lynx would support three banks.

A: - rom0
B: - rom1 or sram depending on cart hardware
C: - eeprom

If this is implemented then the drive letter is a mandatory part of the 
filename. You can of course write a command line interpreter that has 
dos-like behavior on top of it but it should not be part of cc65.
