Absent a second drive, a floppy will always be assigned both
letters A and B. This allows the system to recognise two
different diskettes simultaneously, which it needs to do if it
is to copy files from one to the other without using a hard disk
as temporary storage.

I just assembled a system, and for some reason the floppy drive reports
to both a: and b:. Anyone have any idea why this is? I don't have a
working hard drive in it yet, so I can only test with a boot floppy.
It's an Intel Seattle motherboard, PII, enlight case, nothing unusual.
