If you have the 2090's, not the 2091, then you must switch hardware. CrossDos will not work around the problem if you have one of the 2090's. Reason: is the RDB. The 2090's DO NOT support RDB and never will. CrossDOS 5.0 and the emulator are setup with RDB drives and floppies ONLY. You would have to do multple convoltions to get a 2090 or any controller not supporting RDB to work with CrossDOS. As goes CrossDOS so does the floptical. No it is not a major investment to switch over to an RDB controller. I have seen many Dataflyers for sale used from $10 to $30. And new ADSCSI's and DataFlyers for around $60. And several mail order places such as Briwall trying to sell out of thier 2091's for as little as $49. Sell your what is it? 40Meg MFM for $100 or so and I could you a reconditioned 90 day warrantee, brand name SCSI 40 MEG. for $149 at most computer shows. Point is that what you want to is already a work around even if you already had an RDB controller.
