Solved!
All, be aware that I'm *NOT* a developer, I just can read C code and
eventually do simple modificactions if necessary.
I went through the orcallator.se rel. 1.32 and modified line 1651,
from this

  put_output(sprintf("disk_runp_%s", RAW_disk[i].long_name),

to this

  put_output(sprintf("disk_runp_%s", GLOBAL_disk[i].info.long_name),

This was enough to keep the disk naming representation as the
"classic" c?t?d?
