[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Well, the thing is, a floppy drive is not necessarily the A: drive. For one thing, that letter-naming scheme exists on a Windows- or MS-DOS-based system, but not on Unix or MacOS, or various others. And even on an MS machine, it's only called the A: drive if it's the first one. If you have two floppy drives, the second one is going to be the B: drive. Back in the day, I remember having a 5.25" A: drive and a 3.5" B: drive. Unfortunately, most people today are running Windows and have only everseen one kind of floppy disk (and not many people would have two 3.5" drives in a single computer), so many people have probably come to think of "A: drive" as the proper term for any floppy drive. I'd just never seen anyone actually display such a belief before. [/QB][/QUOTE]
