Summary: 


     I have a compaq desk-pro with two floppy disk drives.

     I wanted to run Superdrive (tm) on the machine, and
     had to lie to the hardware, and make it think that there
     were three diskdrives.  So now I can run superdrive on 
     drive c:, which of course speeds things up.

     It would be nice to load a program, specifically 
     Wordstar(tm) on superdrive, and run it there.

     This works fine, except when I try to edit using the
     logged drive command on wordstar.  If this is done,
     wordstar automatically assumes that it is in drive a:,
     and that the editing files are in whatever the logged
     drive is.  This of course, effectively negates the value of
     superdrive.

     I see two possible (passable) solutions.
	  1)  rename superdrive as drive a:.   This turns off
	      my drive a:, so I become effectively a one drive
	      machine
	  2)  Change the default drive on wordstar to c:
	      I haven't yet tried this.

Any body got any suggestions?

Thanks in advance     GINO
