   The AssignDev program by Phil Lindsay on Fish Disk 111 will allow
you to assign alternate device names to a physical device - not to
the volume mounted in that device.  With AssignDev, you could

assigndev a: df0:
assigndev b: df1:

   and these assignments will remain regardless of volume swapping.
