  CBM *ALWAYS* puts drive "0" on the right. On page 4, paragraph #2 of the
  2010 installation guide it says:

  "The 2010 will be mounted on that plate to the left of the first floppy..."
						 ^^^^ ^^ ^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^^
  The point im trying to make is that CBM has said since the 4040 that
  drive "0" is on the right, and drive "1" is on the left.

  So if someone wants to switch these drives, thats their business, but CBM
  should not have to provide stickers. The person who switched the drives
  can take a trip to the local electronics supply house (or a hamfest) and
  buy a pack of press-on numbers/letters for a few bucks.
