Yes, I use this way too. I use sys to write bootsector with proper data field and back up it in a file associated for each DOS. Then do sys for another DOS and so on. Then I can use e.g. NTLDR to load bootsectors from saved files via menu entries to load specific DOS.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
