Something that might help:
Try to assign the second CD to drive letter W and the 3rd to X.
Some games just keep looking the following drive letters in case they 
need a CD (I know that Diablo II and Freespace do). Maybe P2 will do 
this (I don't really think, but worth trying, no...)

Except that you migth want to have a look at VirtuaCD which is Windows 
based and has a lot of features (it isn't free however).
