This is somewhat similar to a problem I just discovered. I just (today)
purchased an AIR drive (external 3.5 floppy) and was setting it up as df1:
  Well, a funny thing happened on the way to mountlist and an assign showed
me that I had a df2: (I don't) before I executed a 'mount df1:'
  I deleted df2: s setup from my mountlist and put in a df1: df1 now mounts
fine, but df2: is also my external drive. (I have a task held error behind
my Access screen to prove it!) it as you say, it isn't being tracked nicely.

  I put some assigns in my startup to show me WHEN df2: appears on the
device list (at the end of 'assign') and I now know it's somewhere in this...
 
BindDrivers
Assign WB: sys:
IF EXISTS sys:s/JH0
   echo "etc..."
    Wait 5
   DJMount
 
my assign follows there and shows df2: as mounted. BindDrivers wouldn't do
it (would it?) Assign wouldn't, if, echo, and wait wouldn't, Would DJMount
mount df2: ?
  My setup is an A2000, 33Meg HardDrive (Janus) Bridgeboard, one internal
floppy 3.5, one internal 5.25, and the new external. Anyone have a suggestion
as to how I stop it from mounting df2: ?
