Try using assigndev on fish disk #79. This seems to have been the popular
way that many A/B2000 owners who put an old external from their A1000 
adapted to having df0: and df2: instead of df0: and df1:. 
Isn't this another good argument for wanting UNIX on the Amiga. I also work
with 4 OS's (OS/MVS, UNIX, MS-DOS, and A-DOS0) and except for the IBM 370,
which I never want to look at again, I would like more standardization. It 
looks like MS-DOS and A-DOS are heading towards UNIX anyway.
