- Why not allow the CD-ROM to use letters all the way to Z:, since that's
- the usual lastdrive limit for DOS, OS/2, etc.?
-
- It's not that uncommon. In my current configuration here, for example,
- I use C: thru J: for hard drive partitions (my CD-ROM is drive K: now),
- and I'll likely add several more when I add another physical drive here.
-
- (If you're curious why I did this: I split my 620MB of drive space into
- little 80-85MB chunks so that each fits on one DC2120 tape using my little
- Jumbo 120 (QIC-40) drive. It makes backups easier to organize, and lets
- me experiment with several filesystems/OS's with minimal fuss.)

- Just so you know some of us actually *use* a lot of letters... <Grin>
