Re: windows drive letter mapping - CAE

Carl,

I may be dismembering this, but I think Win9x still does honor the LASTDRIVE
directive.  Seems to me it goes in CONFIG.SYS - I'd try an experiment and
see what happens.  (I'd try it for you on this beast, if I had a network to
connect it to.  My ThinkPad is getting lonely, running stand-alone with
nothing but a dialup to the Internet for company...)
