The serial drive driver occupies some memory that the deskop clobbers. So that's why that approach won't work. You'd have to find/make real floppy disks to run either of those desktop programs (or AppleWorks, for that matter) from the IIc - or get one of the SmartPort devices that have been coming out lately.
Also, could you give me a list of software that is VSDRIVE compatible? And I thought VSDRIVE loaded in in place of the floppy driver. (Which MouseDesk doesn't overwrite.)
If you can load MouseDesk from floppy (which I don't know, I've never used it) then the version of VSDRIVE that overwrites the floppy driver ought to work (which is what I think A2CLOUD uses).

I don't have a list... if you're overwriting the floppy driver, then any ProDOS software ought to work. You'd have to ask Ivan specific questions about how A2CLOUD behaves and what to expect; I'm honestly not an expert there. I only supply the driver.
