I tried it with disk E (maybe one day I will have a hard disk!) and it
seems to work just fine. I had to modify zzzap though, because it did
reference disk D, and at the same time I made zzzap runnable from auto
and removing the .acc files also).

What I would also like would be
1. the time-setting part of autodisk, for boot disks where I do not
   want a ramdisk.
2. the disk copy part of autodisk, for when I have a battery-backed clock.
