If you really, really want to see your ZIP drive as B:,
technically, it is not possible - letters A and B are reserved
for floppy drives that are connected via floppy cable to the
controller. However, if you for any logical [removable drive]
or other reasons want to have it as B: [you will only _see_ it
as B:, it is still h: for anything], do this:

add to your autoexec.bat, after the ZIP drivers, the following line:

subst b: h:

and reboot... voila :) Should work fine in DOS, not so sure about Win.

to disable subst, type : subst b: /d

/* I assume h is your zip drive;

now if there was a way to hide h: ?
