Drew, now that's an interesting concept, and a possible cause for
considerableproglems.  If a removable drive device is made bootable, it is
perceived to be a floppy.  That being the case, why can only drives A and B
still be considered floppies?  Suppose you make your ZipDrive, your CD-ROM
drive, either or anywhere from two to four hard drives, and your tape backup
device, all bootable.  Oh, yes, some BIOS setupus only allow for a limited
number of bootable devices.  What happens to the ZipDrive if you still have
a 3.5-inch flop as Drive A: and a 5.25-inch flop as Drive B:, and you still
want to have the Zip be bootable?  What will it be called, and will it be
recognized as a 3.5-inch floppy, or treated like a CD-ROM drive?
