That's not a CD install though. You're missing the point.

Zulu claims it supports CD switching (type=2): https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/...csi.46093/

There's an example of this in the INI file in the GitHub repository for Zulu right now. But this is how you should do it. They at least allow 10 images, zero through nine labeling. Just create one or more of these drives on a Zulu device.

Personally it would be better to do this with physical media for the explanation/demonstration. But if that's not available to you then you can at least be very specific about what you're doing on the Zulu to emulate this process. But either way you should be using CD switching Not scattering the IDs.

If you need more then is provided you can simply create multiple switching drives if that's what you want. Your biggest issue will be making sure you have an enclosure that properly goes from external ultra wide 68 pin to 50 pin arrow to run your Zulu device unless you get a proprietary 3D printed case or something.

Once you start doing folders and trying to mess with the installation process you're already doing something that's advanced. You don't start your first demonstration with an advanced process that's cutting corners you start with actually shoving in each of the 8 or 9 CDs you're going to run the installer with.

Because that's how it was actually done for the vast majority of users back then. You were supposed to have an optical drive to insert the media into to run the OS installation.

I think based on what you have as long as you show the Zulu's ini file and explain that this operates in a similar manner to a jukebox because you don't own an external CD drive and so your emulating one with this device and this is how it's doing it would at least be reason enough.
