- I found a way to do some kind of change. (Not the one I wanted however.)
- With the Dec 8Bios the command CONF POKE fbdb=96fb will create a new drive F:
- that seems to be a mirror of m: except that all of M: files are there ut if
- you put files on f: they are not assecable from m: It seems to set up a
- separate directory since the same file can be a sys file on one drive and a
- dir file on the other.

- That is an interesting discovery, all right. Can I ask why you were trying to
- change the drive number in the first place? Just curious, I haven't run into
- any programs which wouldn't ddress the unit as M: without trouble.

- I've found a few that only allow a certain range of drives. PCFILE lets you
- use A thru D only, for example. (And *that* is one program that would be real
- nice to have address drive M:)

- Yes, I would also *LOVE* to be able to change to another drive name and
- someone mentioned another DREAM of mine: on bootup, make CP/M look to drive
- M: for the startup files! That would be super! Anyway if anyone has any of
- these mods, let us know!

- I found a way! Using conf type the following:
- CONF POKE FBD3=96FB FOR DRIVE B
- FBD5 FOR DRIVE C
- FBD7 FOR DRIVE D
