In a previous post, grx1042@uoft02.utoledo.edu (Steve Snodgrass) says:


Standard (880K) disks are addresed with the normal drive number; for example
DF1: if the AE is your second drive.

High Density disks are addressed 4 higher than the standard device number, 
for
example my AE drive (which is DF1:) works as DF5: for high density disks.

Of course, only one of these devices will work at a time, depending on what
type of disk you have in the drive.
        
BAD cut and paster - Hate working on Macs. Anyway, Has anyone tried using 
AssignDevice: or a similar programme that patches the system and forces it 
to see df5: as, say df2:?
